Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder under fire after allegedly holding back NFL league payments

The Washington Commanders are going through a rough patch at the moment both with their on field and off field matters. To make things worse, the franchise has been alleged of keeping their ticket revenue, which needed to be shared with visiting teams.

Daniel Snyder’s reputation has really taken a hit over the past couple of months, and with this on his head things are going from bad to worse for the Commanders owner. If these allegations are proven to be true, Daniel Snyder might have to let go of his position at the franchise.

According to A.J Perez of FrontOfficeSports.com , at least one person has informed Congressional investigators that the Commanders did not pass along the full 40-percent share, as required by the NFL.

However, if proven true the league will make Snyder pay his 1/32th share of ticket revenue, which was supposed to be shared with the other teams, through court papers or internal arbitration. These allegations are yet to be proven, but the nature of the accusations have made it very hard for Daniel Snyder to come up with a statement as of yet.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell recently spoke on the ticket sales from the Washington Commanders during his time at the owners’ meeting. He said, “My understanding is that the early returns of ticket sales are going very well in Washington. They are making a lot of progress. We are very optimistic going into the season.”
