I honestly never thought I would see this day during my lifetime. I'm glad I did. Was just as good as the three Super Bowls.

So happy right now. Hope it goes through.

[quote=nonniey;1327513]Noticed some concern that he is only looking for minority partners. I don't think that will be an option as he'd need 3/4s of NFL owners to approve the sale - I don't see that happening if Snyder is still in the picture.[/quote]

At this point, I think that doing any sort of business with Dan is too much a liability. Just last night we saw the news that there is now an 8th(?) (I've lost count) investigation into the team, this one being done by the U.S. Attorney's office in the Eastern District of Virginia. He has fires burning all around him. The Mary Jo White investigation, and the final report from the Congressional oversight committee will all be releasing their final report probably within days.

Both reports I'm sure will be damning to Dan. I can't think of ANY respectable business person who would want to hitch their wagon to Dan even if it were for 49% ownership share.

The bottom line is, WAS is dead last in stadium attendance, and for the first time they are now being outperformed in the TV segment in their own market area. It gets worse and worse and it will keep getting worse as long as Dan is here, I really feel like there's too much pomp and circumstance for it to end up "Just" being a minority ownership sale / bid. I think Dan does not have the cash (obviously) to build a new stadium, and he is now realizing that no help is coming for him - MD, DC, VA wants nothing to do with him. He can only fill up FedEx field a third of the way, no way in hell he will fill up a newer, larger stadium. And I think he is finally seeing the walls close in on him. It's over for him I think. NFL network reported yesterday that they DO have the votes needed to remove Dan, but their preference was that he sold willingly. I am sure that has been conveyed to Dan and that is probably what has prompted all this.

I think this is the end for Dan. He probably finishes out the year as the owner but I really think we will know who the front runner(s) are/is by Christmas time. And what a gift it would be for Fans.

Great post

I think its one of those situations where a company is like we will let you quit to save face but if you don't we are going to fire you're ass. Pick your poison.

Re: Dan Snyder Hires Bank Of America To Potentially Sell Washington Commanders
 

Goodell has been very quiet/non committal on all these reports for the last few months, cant help but think he has been quietly pushing Dan towards this position like he did with the name change. Goodell has to have a good idea already as to the likely outcomes of all of these reports and has maybe made the point that Dan will get a better price if he sells the team voluntarily rather than being forced out. Would maybe explain why Dan made such a sudden change of direction on both subjects. Just speculating

I agree as well. Obviously anyone now who buys an NFL team is primarily looking for the status of it, but you just never know. Look at the moves the Panthers new owner has made...very Snyder like and very involved. I remember when Snyder bought this franchise and we all thought we were lucky because he was young and had grown up a Redskins fan and all he wanted to do was win. Maybe someone like Bezos would be good, because he's already famous and he would still have so much else going on that this would be just ONE of the many things that he would be involved with, and he'd hire a competent GM and let him run the team.

As I understand it he had put together a group for the Bronco's and then the Walton's came in. If true he would be the first Majority Black Owner in the NFL.

I’d be alright with Bezos. He’s not an unpredictable, self-conscious, attention-whore. Part of Musk’s business strategy has always been marketing himself alongside his companies. That’s not to say that he doesn’t run an effective organization, but consider Tesla: it doesn’t rank in the top ten of automakers by revenue, yet is the highest valued. The guy is great at selling a vision and forcing his face into everything he does. Bezos success is more about product and less about marketing and self-aggrandizement. He doesn’t feel the need to wave his dick around. In other words, there’s never drama with Bezos.

Can he afford it though? The NFL requires owners to put down 30% for a team. If the team sells for $6B, that means he would need $1.8B in cash. His net worth is estimated at "only" $800M. Even if he cashed out, he still wouldn't be half way there. I can see him being a minority owner, but I seriously question if he can afford to buy this team. He would have to convince an awful lot of people to put down an awful lot of money to just be minority owners.

Both went to super expensive private schools in DC as kids .... easiest way to get rich is to be born on 3rd base.

My brain is telling me this is to good to be true, its going to be a minority deal.

Also .. now that Dan Snyder is down in the dumps, seems to have social acceptance anxiety and now all the cool kids are ostrechizing him, under multiple criminal investigations .. I kinda feel bad for him.

He was just a super fan who made many mistakes as an owner but I always thought his intentions were good, to win a SB.

I don't feel bad for Dan at all. Everything that is coming down on him is 100% his own doing.

The price isn't what normally scares investors away its the ROI.

If $5B in DEN only brings me back $6B but $7B in WAS brings me back $10B; I am spending the extra money for more money down the road.

I'm not sure what anybody sees in Bezos that could be problematic aside from conflicts of interest that might somehow preclude him from bidding. But he's a very strong businessman and would no doubt give us what we want: someone who would not meddle and would just hire leadership and let them do their jobs.

Bezos is too big to meddle in the affairs of the team. In the end that's all we want, someone that hires football people and gets out of the way.

This isn't about who we might end up with, it's about getting rid of the guy who meddled so much.
