Six Billion Dollars! That’s the amount it took for the most infamous franchise in the NFL to finally find a new set of hands in the management. Recently, a lot of rumors surrounded the takeover of the ownership of the franchise, as fans recommended several names as probable successors. But, it is another athlete who has won the race! After years of running the Washington Commanders into the ground, Dan Snyder has sold the team off to new management, marking a monumental day for the NFL. 

For years, Snyder had presided over a toxic culture of harassment and abuse within the organization. But none other than NBA legend, Magic Johnson, stepped up to take the Commanders off Snyder’s hands. An investor group led by Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Josh Harris and including billionaire Mitchell Rales and Magic Johnson has purchased the Commanders for a record-breaking $6 billion.

Dan Snyder’s dark past finally catches up to him

After years of abuse within the organization, many Commander’s employees have been subject to the misdoings of Snyder and Co. For these employees, seeing Snyder finally rid of power has to be euphoric. Amongst them, is none other than Melanie Coburn. Coburn was one of the most vocal victims of this toxic culture. She worked as a cheerleader for the franchise for 14 years. She had been part of every investigation regarding Dan Snyder and the Washington Commanders.

In an interview after the announcement of Snyder selling the team, Melanie revealed that she did cry tears of happiness to finally know that Snyder is facing the repercussions of his actions.

Billionaire Jay-Z’s Interest in Becoming Washington Commanders Owner Alongside Jeff Bezos Draws Interesting Reaction From Beyonce’s Family

For her and many others who had suffered under Snyder’s leadership, the news that he would no longer be in charge of the team was a long-awaited victory.

Magic Johnson joins the fray

Magic Johnson is a hero in Los Angeles and for many across the world. But his latest dive into the ownership of the Commanders must certainly have made him a new fan favorite in Washington DC. Johnson joins the ownership group led by 76ers co-owner Josh Harris and billionaire Mitchell Rales. The group finally outbid a Jeff Bezos-led contingent to gain control of the Commanders’ organization. 

The deal, at $6 Billion, is set to make the Commanders the most expensive sale of a sports franchise. Johnson’s involvement in the purchase is a major coup for the new ownership group. He brings not only a wealth of experience in sports ownership but also a level of star power that could help to reinvigorate the Commanders’ fan base. For a franchise that has struggled to maintain relevance in recent years, the addition of Magic Johnson could be just what they need to turn things around.
