Sixers owner Josh Harris has reached an agreement to purchase the NFL’s Washington Commanders, Sportico’s Scott Soshnick and Eben Novy-Williams report.
Harris, who is also the managing partner for the NHL’s New Jersey Devils, is acquiring the NFL team from Dan Snyder for approximately $6 billion, a record for a sports franchise. Harris’ group also includes NBA Hall of Famer and former Lakers executive Magic Johnson.
The previous record purchase price for a sports team was $4.6 billion, which Rob Walton paid for the NFL’s Denver Broncos last year.
Harris became the majority owner of the Sixers franchise in 2011.
For those of you who don’t know, I am an avid Commanders fan. My name is from an old funny or die sketch about Snyders refusal to change the clearly outdated and offensive name.
I am also a life long Sacramento Kings fan…
I bring this up to show all us sports fans, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you asked me in January 2022 if in just 1 years time, the Sacramento Kings would have home court advantage in the playoffs, AND Dan Snyder would finally sell the team he clearly has no care for, I would have called you an idiot for suggesting either of those things as possibilities.
Time to trust the process.
Congrats.
Lol congrats dude. I hope Kings go deep. Only thing better is to see Snyder behind bars.
Behind bars for what lil clown
Don’t you dare talk to ne like that
Maybe you should focus on one thing to do great. Greed greed
If I was a owner I could get them a title
