Even more interesting: The possibility of Jeff Bezos as a bidder:
Bezos also owns the Washington Post.

I see him being more likely.

Meanwhile the DC Attorney General sues current team owner Dan Snyder:
Exclusive | Jeff Bezos may sell Washington Post to buy Commanders, investors say: sources
Does Jeff Bezos love football more than he loves newspapers? That’s a question getting tossed around the nation’s capital as its NFL franchise hits the block.

Note this is in talks for now over Washington Post being sold in relation to Bezos being named as a candidate for the Washington Commanders.
A family member was wondering if Bezos’ ownership stake in Amazon might be a conflict of interest with the Prime Video streaming deal, if he is also a team owner? Of course media companies have owned sports teams in the past.Exclusive | Jeff Bezos may sell Washington Post to buy Commanders, investors say: sources

Snyder hates everyone. That won't stop him from taking the highest bid on the team.

Washington Commanders, Harris Group Agree On Sale
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — A group led by Josh Harris has agreed to buy the NFL’s Washington Commanders from longtime owner Dan Snyder and his family. The sides announced the deal in a joint statement Friday, roughly a month after they reached an agreement in principle on the sale for a record $6.05...

Here is more on the deal.
This is an interesting story because it involves sports and broadcasting in that Josh Harris founded Apollo Global, owner of Cox Media. Of course Dan Snyder founded a media company too. And he totally destroyed a once-great franchise. The team has been a laughingstock for most of this century. They killed any credibility they ever had when they changed their name. The first job the new owners have is to give people a reason to root for this nameless, spineless, imageless team. They need to develop a brand. One that resonates the way that the old one did. One that would cause grown men with college educations to put on wigs, dresses, and hog noses and dance as the hogettes. That's when you know you have built a brand.
The problem with this new group is they're out of towners who really have no connection to the DC culture. So I don't know how they can rebuild a Washington institution when they don't live in the area. But maybe they can learn. Look...it can't get any worse.
The other side of this is Dan Snyder bought this team in 1999 for under a billion, and sold it for over $6 billion, so good for him.
And good riddance.

Magic Johnson is now a part owner of the Washington Commanders. He spoke to the team, and suggested they might change the team name at some point. That would be a good and popular idea. No one likes the Commanders name.
