Controversial Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder says he has acquired enough secrets about fellow owners and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell that "they can't f--- with me" and could "blow up" the league, according to an explosive report by ESPN
The story alleges Snyder has obtained this information through various sources and has even hired private investigative firms. This is allegedly why Snyder manages to hold on to the franchise, despite "allegations of a toxic club culture, sexual harassment, accounting misdeeds and the bungling of a new stadium proposal that once seemed inevitable," as well as the desire by many fellow owners to force him to sell.
"The NFL is a mafia," the story quotes him as having recently told an associate. "All the owners hate each other."
"That's not true," one veteran owner says. "All the owners hate Dan."
The story cites "multiple owners and league and team sources" for the accusation that Snyder has hired private investigators to dig up dirt on his fellow owners and Goodell.
Snyder and the team, through lawyers, have denied the accusations.
