Dan Snyder’s long reign of incompetent terror over the Washington Commanders has finally come to an end. After nearly a quarter-century at the helm of Washington, Snyder’s sale to new owner Josh Harris was completed today with unanimous approval from every other NFL owner, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Of course, given the combination of consistent scandals and an almost-always awful on-field product, this is a momentous day for anyone who counts themselves a Commanders supporter. Snyder was not only one of the NFL’s worst active owners but arguably one of the worst in the league’s history.
And now, everyone can move on. A new era in D.C. has begun.
A monumental Washington day: NFL owners now have unanimously approved the $6.05 billion sale of the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder to a group led by Josh Harris, per league source.

Harris might be a good or even great owner down the line, but he assuredly doesn’t have a very high bar to clear at the start.
