ASHBURN — After testifying remotely before Congress two weeks ago, Dan Snyder was again sworn in under oath Wednesday. This time, however, the Washington Commanders owner appeared remotely in front of the Maryland State Lottery and Gaming Control Agency to thank the panel and his staff for their work on a sports betting license for FedEx Field.
“We’re going to have some big-time attendance shortly,” Snyder told the board before the members approved the license in a 6-1 vote. “We’re very, very optimistic also on the season. We finally have a quarterback.”
Snyder’s call into the meeting didn’t even last 90 seconds — a stark contrast to the nearly 11-hour deposition the embattled billionaire went through when he voluntarily testified remotely before the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
