OT: Washington Commanders sale “imminent” (update: sold for $6 billion)

[Bill Lee]

Wait, wot?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Wait, wot?

Let me guess…the source is Dan Snyder himself who is trying to get more $$$…

 

[mgteich]

Crazy that Twitter sold for $44 billion and an entire nfl franchise with stadium etc sells for 6

and bought a cup of coffee for $7. So what?

 

[DaBruinz]

It is done.

Dan Snyder agrees to sell Commanders to Josh Harris group for record $6 billion

Dan Snyder’s beleaguered tenure owning the Washington Commanders appears to be nearing the finish line.

nypost.com

That story says that the other group is supposedly still trying to hammer things out instead of the Harris group..

 

[DaBruinz]

Oh, Snyder is quite happy. I wonder what the taxes are going to look like for him on a $5 billon profit though...

Not as much as you think. All thanks to the wonderful rigged tax system we currently have.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

I for one am WICKED PISSED at this Forum for not informing me that it was up for bid. I RELY on this site for timely foosball info.
Now my chance to buy an NFL team is pissed away.

If you don't classify opportunities to see nude cheerleaders as part of the return, sure.

Point taken

Irsay Back in the lead as “worst owner”

Neck and neck with Bidwell

 

[Ross12]

I wonder if they'll change the name again. "Commanders" is such a ****ty name for an NFL team. Sounds like a minor league team.

Where do they rate compared to the Sullivans...

 

[JarOfMayo51]

Snyder bought the "Skins in 1999 for $800m.....24yrs later a $6b sale.

ARR- 8.75%

Not bad.

thats just the appreciation of the business, he was making a profit every year he owned it as well

I live in the area and have friends/co-workers who grew up diehard Skins fans. I feel bad for them the way that ass clown ruined that team.

Washington has a lot of loyal and passionate fans who aren't scumbags or entitled brats. I'm not sure I wish the team well, but I wish the fans something better than Snyder.

1. We are football fans.
2. I lived in DC area during Jack Kent Cooke, Joe Gibbs era. I feel bad the fans that bled maroon and gold every Sunday that ended up with a buffoon. They had the long list of fans waiting for season tickets and now they don't even sell out anymore.
3. Did I mention that we are football fans?
