The Washington Commanders have made headlines in recent years for almost everything under the sun except football. Let us be the first to tell you today will not be any different. The one thing that always follows a major workplace harassment scandal is a team being sold. Luckily for Owner Dan Snyder his time with the team will end with the label of biggest sports franchise sale in history.
According to the Associated Press, Snyder has agreed to sell the Commanders. The buyers are a group led by 76ixers owner Josh Harris. That group also includes Mitchell Rales and Magic Johnson who hasn’t been shy about talking about the purchase over the past few weeks. The selling price is reportedly $6 Billion dollars. Upon approval of the deal, Harris will have a controlling stake in three North American pro sports leagues. That would include the NBA’s 76ers, NHL’s New Jersey Devils, and now the Commanders. Reportedly the sale hasn’t been sent to the league for approval yet. However, it seems certain to become a reality soon.
