As much as Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder would like to maximize his return on a potential sale of the team, he clearly won’t do so if it means selling one person in particular.
According to Commanders insider JP Finley, Snyder has no interest in selling the team to Amazon founder and executive Jeff Bezos. Bezos owns the Washington Post newspaper – a publication that Snyder reportedly detests.
“Not only was I told that Bezos did not submit a bid, but people told me that the Snyder family has no interest in selling to Bezos,” Finlay tweeted on Sunday.
However, Snyder’s alleged hatred of Bezos may not have any bearing on anything. For one, Bezos reportedly didn’t submit a bid for the team, and for another, a final decision on whether or not he’ll sell the team is reportedly coming soon.
Dan Snyder has owned the Washington Commanders since purchasing it from the estate of Jack Kent Cooke in 1999 for $800 million.
Between a congressional investigation of his conduct and a long-standing name dispute, Snyder probably wouldn’t lose a significant number of fans if he eventually sold the team.
Luckily for Snyder, he can work like a full-fledged bandit into potential sales, which is what people are paying for these days.
Will Dan Snyder sell the team? Will Jeff Bezos ever be able to buy it?
