WFT was too generic to be trademarked. |

It was great because it was so generic. It was like American football was stealing a page from European soccer. Barcelona Football Club is self evident too, but still an iconic name. |

| Give me Boehley or Harris over Bezos all day. I want someone who has had success running sports franchises. Plus both those guys grew up here. Bezos is just a creep. |

| I don’t know but I am sure that putting a “Sell the Team” in front of your house in Rockville is definitely going to convince him. |

Bezos is worse than a creep, he’s a cheap skate that loves government hand outs. If people like $30 parking at FedEx under Snyder, they should enjoy $60 parking under Bezos plus $2 billion in public subsidies. He’s going to monetize the hell out of that team so badly that it will further cheapen the brand. |

The Snyders have blocked Bezos the private auction:

| Amazing that Snyder would give up hundreds of millions of dollars, possibly billions of dollars, just because he's mad at the Washington Post. |

Not that amazing since he has had decades of making stupid business decisions with regard to the Redskins. |

Makes sense when the Post reported on a lot of the Snyder sexual harassment scandal |

OMG just take your billions and GTFO, no one is going to cover for you and your decades of corruption.
“Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder and his attorneys have demanded that fellow NFL franchise owners and the league indemnify him against future legal liability and costs if he sells the team, two people with direct knowledge of the NFL’s inner workings and the owners’ attitudes said. Snyder’s demands, which include a threat to sue if the indemnification condition is not met, have angered some owners and renewed discussion about the possibility of taking a vote to remove him from ownership of the Commanders if he does not sell the franchise, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic and the legal threat.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/02/27/dan-snyder-nfl-owners-dispute/ |

Sure. But if Bezos owned the team do you think the paper would publish negative stories about the team? |

What’s funny is that the loan size is about the same as what Synder paid for his new house in VA: $55 million. And it comes at about the same time too. But, there’s a lot of sour grapes in that article but no reporting that even rises to an allegation of illegal activity, which is that the team lied to secure the loan. It says that BoA requested the documentation. It says that WFT lawyers eventually told BoA the documentation did not exist. What it doesn’t say is what representations the team made to BoA about the documentation. It makes a difference if they said “we have it and will send it right over” versus “we are working on it and will send it asap, but please approve the loan anyway”. Did Synder misuse and waste team resources. Clearly. As majority owner, did he have the discretion to do so? Also yes. These guys were just mad because he big dogged them and was making them out for chumps. |
