The Washington Football Team has gone through a number of changes this offseason, and that includes its head coach and nickname. It appears one more change might be in order.
According to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, the minority owners of the Washington organization are pressuring owner Dan Snyder to sell the team.
The WSJ report goes as far as to “suggest that at least one of the minority partners has attempted to leak defamatory information against him.”
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported last month that several minority stakeholders retained the investment bank Moag & Company with the intention of facilitating a sale of their stake in the team.
“Within a few phone calls, it became clear that Dwight Schar and Fred Smith were trying to sell their interest in the team,” Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio wrote on July 16. “The Post thereafter confirmed that fact, adding the third minority partner — Robert Rothman — to the list of potential sellers.”
Snyder has been the primary owner of Washington since 1999.
