Daniel Marc Snyder (born November 23, 1964) is an American businessman and former owner of the Washington Commanders, an American football franchise belonging to the National Football League (NFL). He founded the marketing company Snyder Communications in 1989, amassing a wealth that led him to buy the Commanders, then known as the Redskins, from Jack Kent Cooke's estate in 1999 for $800 million. Snyder is widely considered among the worst owners in the history of professional sports, with the team marred by several controversies, and managing six playoff appearances, four division titles, and two playoff victories during his 24 years of ownership. Among the controversies under his leadership was his long-time refusal to change the controversial Redskins name, allegations of sexual harassment within the organization, a toxic workplace culture, and other financial issues.

About

In the early 2020s, Snyder was investigated by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for allegations of sexual harassment and enabling a toxic workplace culture with the Commanders, and by state and federal agencies for illegally withholding security deposits from season ticket holders and offering hush money to accusors. Amid financial issues and increasing pressure from the NFL, Snyder sold the Commanders in 2023 to a group headed by Josh Harris for $6.05 billion, the largest sports team sale at the time. Snyder has lived in London since 2022.
