Dan Snyder's grip of the Washington Commanders seems to be loosening a bit, but his control over the message seems as strong as ever.
As has been the case for the better part of his two-decade stint as owner, fans are exceptionally mad with the Snyder family. Tanya Snyder was greeted by "sell the team" chants when she was shown on the video board on Sunday, while other fans in the stands responded with signs that mirrored the chant.
Stadium security, though, apparently wasn't a fan of the fans' silent protests, with staff members ordering those with fans to stand down with their signs.

One fan says that he was forced to put the sign down, and instead opted to wear a paper bag with "Sell the Team" written on it. Security made him take the bag off, too.
Snyder’s security guards made me take the sign down so I put on the bag on and they made me take that off. I told them it was our franchise’s version of the cheese head. Plenty of cheese heads around us. #SellTheTeam pic.twitter.com/o73l79r5XN

Snyder's ownership has once again come under fire, this time, with the owner supposedly acting like he's backed into a corner, threatening to "expose" certain owners.
During the fall owners meetings, Colts owner Jim Irsay turned up the heat on Snyder, saying that there should be momentum towards removing Snyder as owner.
Such a move would certainly please the fans in attendance.
