As Bombshell Report Circulates, Dan Snyder Just Joined Twitter. But His Account Is Still Locked.

Luckily, the Washington Football Team's owner is not the only Dan Snyder on Twitter

Dan Snyder likes to be called “Mr. Snyder” or “Sir.” He likes his toilet paper folded to a point and his paper clips facing the same direction. And he apparently does not want you following him on Twitter, at least yet.

Washington Football Team’s owner just joined Twitter, a service that makes it possible to see how people are talking about you, a bold move for someone who’s as unpopular in the DC area—and indeed, beyond it—as Dan Snyder.

It’s an especially bold move during a week when the Washington Post dropped a second bombshell story about the toxic sexist culture inside the team, this one featuring an actual allegation against the owner, not just his flunkies. On Twitter, some fairly big names are speculating that Snyder could be forced to sell the franchise.

But before you file an opinion on what his first public tweet should be, know that Dan Snyder probably won’t see your great jape: He’s locked his account and must approve all followers.

At the time of publication, Dan Snyder followed two accounts and had approved four others to follow Dan Snyder. A follow request from a Washingtonian reporter remains pending.

So, in the meantime, you can follow several other Dan Snyders.

I applaud my brother James Dolan for his bravery in standing up to obnoxious fans who want “wins” and “an enjoyable experience.”
