It is a shame he will do so well out of his mismanagement of the proud Washington franchise, but NFL teams are scarce commodities, much more scarce than billionaires.  In any event, his incompetence and arrogance and outright criminality probably shaved billions off what this franchise could have been worth if cared for properly.  

 

Proud Washington franchise? It was last franchise who was willing to sign black players.

Wow.  Far more than the Broncos sold for, what, a year ago?  Despite their many problems under Dan Snyder, Washington remains a cornerstone NFL franchise.  

 

that remains to be seen.  They have lost at least 50% of their fan base due to snyder.  With a stadium that is a complete dump  and probably a long shot at the playoffs it seems like that is going to take a while before they are anywhere near what that franchise was.  

 

Now if they build a new stadium and their new qb works out and they win the division in the next couple of years I bet a lot of those old fans would come back.

Close, but this Josh Harris is the owner of the NBA's 76ers and the NHL's Devils

Thought you couldn't own teams in another city in other sports.  Pegula had sabres but they both are Buffalo teams.

Would not be surprised if NFL had exception for having a lot of liquid assets.

Then why were the “Commanders”  just sold for $1.4 billion more than the Broncos, one of the most iconic and valuable franchises in the league?

They’re gonna spend more than $6b at the end of the day too. They need a new stadium and likely are going to re-brand given fan reaction to the Commanders.

 

Agreed. The Commanders is a terrible name.

Inflation? Because 4.6 Billion dollars then is worth more than 6 Billion dollars today?

1. There are  only 32 teams in the NFL;

2. They rarely go up for sale;

3. They always increase in value;

4. There's always a multi-billionaire who's willing to overspend for a toy.

Maybe, but it’s the entire Rocky Mountain region, including at least six states…
