Former NFL owner just donated his $35 million mansion to charity: Here's what the charity plans to do with it

Former NFL owner just donated his $35 million mansion to charity: Here's what the charity plans to do with it​

This is a donation that you don't see every day​

It turns out that selling a football team is a lot easier than selling a mansion, at least if you're Dan Snyder.

The former Washington Commanders owner had no problem selling the team back in July 2023 when NFL owners unanimously approved a $6 billion sale to Josh Harris. At the same time that Snyder was trying to sell the Commanders, he was also trying to sell his Maryland-area mansion, and things definitely didn't go as smoothly.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Snyder put his mansion up for sale in February 2023 with an asking price of $49 million. If you're wondering how much house you get for $49 million, you can scroll through the photos below.



After the house went unsold for nearly six months, Snyder reduced the asking price by more than $14 million, knocking the cost of the house down to $34.9 million.

Even with the reduced asking price, Snyder still didn't have any takers, so he decided to take the house off the market and GIVE IT AWAY. Instead of selling the mansion, Snyder simply donated it to the American Cancer Society, according to The Washington Post.

The charity won't be using the mansion as a new headquarters, though. As a matter of fact, they won't be using it at all. A charity spokesperson told The Washington Post that the ACS plans to sell the mansion and then use the money "to advance our mission of improving the lives of cancer patients and their families."

Although it's a fantastic donation, Snyder will get to reap at least one benefit here: The former NFL owner will be able to use the appraised value of the house as a tax deduction. If the appraised value is $40 million, then he'll get a $40 million deduction, so donating the house will help his bottom line.

Snyder owned the Commanders for just over 24 years before he was forced to sell the team following a series of controversies that ended with him getting fined $60 million, a fine that was announced on the same day as the sale of the team back on July 21, 2023.

Dan Quinn Clarifies His Commanders Shirt That Featured a Nod to Controversial Logo

Quinn tried to diffuse controversy over the shirt he wore last week.

The Washington Commanders never seem to be far from controversy and even their new head coach isn't immune from it. On Tuesday, Dan Quinn had to explain why he wore a shirt that included a nod to the team's former, highly controversial logo.

On Saturday, Quinn wore a shirt that featured the team's large "W" logo, with "Commanders" under it. But two feathers hung off of the "W" in connection to the franchise's old name and logo.



It wasn't shocking that the shirt created a decent amount of controversy. On Tuesday, Quinn addressed it head on.

"I think one of the parts of me taking this job, I was excited to bridge the past and the present. What a cool privilege that is to do," he said, per Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post. "I also recognize there's a lot of layers to that. So, it was a great lesson for me. What I really hate is that any attention that would've been taken away from these rookies and this awesome crew. Nobody wants to do that."

I have a feeling we won't be seeing that shirt on Quinn again......:lol:

Commanders finalize plans to build Taylor statue

Washington Commanders will build statue to honor Sean Taylor​

The Washington Commanders will build a statue to honor their late former safety Sean Taylor, two years after unveiling a memorial installation that was criticized by fans and has already been permanently removed.

Taylor, whose No. 21 was retired in 2022, becomes the organization's first former player to be memorialized with a statue. Taylor's daughter, Jackie, will be involved in helping design the statue. She was 18 months old when he was murdered in November 2007.

"I'm just thankful for the whole process," said Taylor, a freshman volleyball player at North Carolina who wears her father's former number. "I think the fans will really enjoy what they're going to see and getting the second opportunity, you don't really get many second opportunities. The fact that we're able to get a second opportunity is nice. ... There's a lot of excitement."

Taylor made it clear that her family was appreciative of the previous memorial installation, which was displayed inside the stadium.

"Any opportunity we get to honor my dad, we're going to take it positively," she said in a video conference call.

Canceled tribal chief White Calf, face of the Redskins, generates new support nationwide

Native American leader White Calf, Blackfleet chief, was erased in cancel-culture efforts to tip public opinion against the Redskins name and log. Now, communities are standing up for history.

Canceled tribal chief White Calf, face of the Redskins, generates new support nationwide​

Native heritage and history — erased in concerted efforts by powerful groups in a woke culture — are resurfacing​

Celebrated Blackfeet chief John Two Guns White Calf was sacrificed on the altar of cancel culture.

Now an effort to save the indigenous hero's legacy as well as larger Native history from a woke agenda is beginning to spread nationwide.

White Calf was the face of the NFL’s Washington Redskins for 48 years. Before receiving that honor, he was one of the most famous Native Americans of the 20th century.

But then his name, image, achievements — his very existence, really — were erased by the politically connected National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), headquartered in Washington, D.C.

White Calf was erased from the NFL, too. The Redskins, under mounting pressure fueled in large part by the NCAI, dumped its White Calf portrait logo in 2020 and adopted the name Commanders in 2021.
