He fell into some money and probably thought he would be a good owner. He was dead wrong. He was not only a bad owner, but a terrible person. Sometimes $$ changes people for the worse. I don't know what he was like before he bought the team, but DS is likely a prime example of that.
But I have to be honest, if I had almost a billion dollars in the 90s, I probably would have tried to buy this team too. 
The team seems to be in good hands now though, thankfully! |
I will give Dan credit. He has/ had to have talent to start a company with his sister and get to the level of success that enabled him to buy the Redskins. I have heard his company was built on a house of cards and the timing was right, but still, he had to have some smarts and an incredible work ethic.
