Dan Snyder Reportedly Threatened the Life of Washington Football Team’s Cheerleader Director

The Washington Football Team still has no nickname, which is the least of their problems. Not only is their product on the field substandard, there’s also a lot of shenanigans going on behind the scenes.

On Friday, The Washington Post released an in-depth story about how toxic the work environment was for team cheerleaders and what owner Dan Snyder told his former Cheerleader Director to hire.

Via Washington Post:

Like the cheerleaders he led, Donald Wells, who served as director from 1997 to 2009, is taking a hard look back at his experience with the team. He regrets that he could not have done more to protect the women. He also recalled a remark by Snyder that Wells said reveals his disrespect for the cheerleaders, their hard work and the value they brought to the team.

“You better keep them skinny with big tits or I’ll f—— kill you,” Wells said Snyder told him at a 2004 charity event where the squad performed.

Snyder, who has been the team’s majority owner since 1999, declined an interview request for this story and did not respond to questions sent to his attorney and public relations firm about the comment Wells said he made.

“You better keep them skinny with big tits or I’ll f—— kill you,” Washington’s former cheerleading director says Dan Snyder once told him. Another riveting, disturbing story. (Via ⁦@bethreinhard⁩, ⁦@lizclarketweet⁩, ⁦@TheWillHobson⁩) https://t.co/noDt1BbQms

Dan Snyder is a major creep, that much is clear. He’s also been a pretty lackluster owner too. This franchise has been the laughing stock of the league since Snyder showed up. Those are just facts.

Time for more than a name change in Washington.
