That’s a good question. I don’t know anything about that scenario. obviously I think Bezo’s buying into the league wouldn’t be stopped because of the Amazon thing, but it’s one side that would require some legal hoola-hooping I’m sure.
Dr.Sack Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Bezos has money but he can’t really expand the league monetarily. In order for the game of American football to grow it must be done outside of the US.

Bill from NYC Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Didn't he give his wife 38 billion dollars to get rid of her so he could be with his "soulmate?" He could come close to buying every team in the league. If he wants a team, nobody will be able to stop him. 1

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Hey...what's this 'miscellaneous expense, $100' on my Amazon Prime account? Looks like there's now two community owned teams in the NFL. 🤔 *😁 1

Yeah, probably true but I think they'd find a way to make it work if Snyder and Bezos actually want to play ball with each other. Bezos has always been the guy to watch if Snyder wants to sell the team, especially now considering that the new Amazon HQ is being built here. I would imagine a lot of the owners in the league would not be fans of Bezos joining the club though given both the egos involved money-wise and also the political leanings.

I was going to volunteer Potomac but after looking up entomology that won’t work. I think the district prime football team is safe.

Bezo’s seems like someone who couldn’t help but try to change things he’s involved in (for better or worse) so I could see them not wanting him to come in an make waves. I’m so intrigued by the way the owners operate together... on one hand, they’re almost like a quasi-board or directors running a multi billion dollar company together, but on the other hand they’re competitors each looking out for number 1. A weird dynamic I’m sure. 2

He is the owner of the Washington Post who posted several articles which forced $nyder to change practices and new Public Relations attorney. That would not be a good thing for the league, there is such a thing as having too much money. Next thing you have to worry about him making side deals with players to get them paid outside of listed salary. I have seen this in the NBA and questionable tactics being used by Steve Balmer with at net worth of about 75 billion
