Back in October 2021, when the world was digesting the emails of former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden and intimately acquainted with the opinions they shared when most people weren’t listening (or reading), conspiracy were flying in every direction. Someone had leaked sensitive materials from an NFL investigation \u2014 with the clear intent of achieving some goal \u2014 and now everyone had a hypothesis.<\/p>\n

Some pointed a finger at NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith, who had been the subject of one of Gruden’s derogatory screeds sent to then-Washington team president Bruce Allen. Others surmised that it was NFL commissioner Roger Goodell or one of his charges at the league office, looking to make an example of Gruden for a string of racist, homophobic and misogynistic messages to Allen. Still others suggested that it might have been Allen himself, theorizing that he’d been so thoroughly burned by Washington team owner Dan Snyder, he’d sacrifice the reputation of Gruden just to turn the heat up on his former boss.<\/p>\n

Publicly, everyone denied having anything to do with it. But privately? Well, it turns out there was a pretty significant accusation by the NFL. One that appeared to put the onus for the leaks onto the Washington franchise. An allegation that, if true, would mean that the person most responsible for Dan Snyder’s downfall is the person we suspected all along.<\/p>\n

Dan Snyder.<\/p>\n

What is Snyder’s connection to the Gruden emails?<\/h2>\n
