Magic was teary-eyed as he said, “This is a great opportunity. I don’t know why God blessed me with these opportunities, but I want to excel, not only for myself but [for] my family. But for all African Americans, making sure we can see ourselves in these seats. I want people to know that we can do the job.”
As a football fan, he is ecstatic about the new ownership and took to Twitter to share his happiness with the fans. He said, “I grew up playing football as a kid, I’m a huge NFL fan, and I watch games every week. Now, I get to co-own a storied franchise, the Washington Commanders.”
On July 20, all NFL owners voted to approve the team's sale. Josh Harris, a multibillionaire and co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, bought the Washington Commanders, ending Snyder's two-decade reign as owner.
One of the priciest agreements for a professional sports franchise in North America, the consortium finalised the acquisition for an absurd $6.05 billion. The four-time NBA champion is also a member of the organisation, as was previously revealed. He keeps the fans informed about his new NFL position.
