It’s more or less universally thought that Dan Snyder is not a good person. The owner of the Washington Commanders has been involved in multiple scandals recently. He is under investigation currently by the NFL for a team culture that had many instances of harassment. And, congress also deposed him over the summer after he refused to appear for an in-person hearing.

There’s more! On Thursday, it was reported that Snyder has been acquiring compromising information about other owners. This is because there could be a vote at the owner’s meaning next week to remove him as owner.

And, after Washington’s 12-7 win over the Bears on Thursday, Commanders coach Ron Rivera had a great chance to throw his owner under the bus.

Ron Rivera took responsibility for the decision to acquire Carson Wentz

Rivera was asked after the game about a report that said that it was Snyder’s idea to acquire Wentz from the Colts. But, he pushed back.

That is quite the response. He had a chance to throw his embattled owner under the bus but didn’t take it. That’s certainly not the choice I would’ve made.

There have been other issues between Rivera and Wentz, and earlier in the week he said the reason they weren’t winning enough was the quarterback play.
