5 NFL owners disliked by their teams' fans ft. Dan Snyder

#3 Jimmy Haslam, Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam

While Jimmy Halsam has only owned the Cleveland Browns for 10 years, he has already made several moves that have aggravated the fan base.

Haslam is reportedly the one who made the ultimate decision to hire Hue Jackson as head coach and draft quarterback Johnny Manziel. He was advised against both decisions but did it anyway, resulting in huge failures.

Haslam made headlines again during the 2022 NFL offseason by trading for controversial quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson's controversy centers around 24 lawsuits involving sexual misconduct allegations. Despite the controversy, Haslam gave the QB a record-breaking contract. To make things worse, Haslam decided not to show up for the introductory press conference following the trade.

#2 The Ford Family, Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp

The Ford Family has owned a share of the Detroit Lions since 1961 and the entire franchise since 1963. The Lions are one of the oldest franchises in the league and have a committed fan base, despite being unable to find consistent success.

The Lions have never appeared in a Super Bowl, let alone won one. They have historically struggled to produce a winning team, and the Ford Family has shouldered the blame for nearly 60 years.

#1 Dan Snyder, Washington Commanders

Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder

Dan Snyder is not only the most disliked owner in the NFL, but also one of the most hated owners across all sports. He's been involved in several scandals, including creating a toxic work environment, scamming season ticket holders, and financial fraud. His behavior continuously depicts him as selfish and greedy.

Snyder is currently under investigation for allegedly stealing money from the NFL's revenue sharing pool, and could potentially be forced to sell the team if found guilty.

Washington fans might be hoping for such a resolution. They often used to bring signs to home games criticizing their owner, but Snyder banned the use of signs in an attempt to silence them.
