There's about a 5% chance that happens and a 0% chance they're ever called the Redskins again.I do worry that Bezos may immediately buy the Commanders from whomever buys them from Snyder, instantly rename them back to their previous name, and start making smart decisions backed by the deepest pockets darned near out there.
It would cost him less than 5% of his net worth to do it and would be a guaranteed money maker and investment.

He doesn't want to overpay.Why wouldn't Bezos just buy it now if he really wants it?
He doesn't want to pverpay.
Honestly if someone is paying 7 bil it's probably an overpay. The Redskins franchise is pretty dumpy.He'd certainly have to overpay if he bought it second hand. The Harris group bought it to keep it. You'd have to overpay to get it from them.
It's what he says, but I think Snyder just refuses to sell to himHe doesn't want to overpay.
Eh, I'm guessing Snyder would be happy to take as much money as possible. The guy is kind of a cheapskate.It's what he says, but I think Snyder just refuses to sell to him
But he's an asshole first and foremostEh, I'm guessing Snyder would be happy to take as much money as possible. The guy is kind of a cheapskate.
That's it. Bezos has enough money to change it back.The franchise would be worth more without the name change. Slur or not, it was iconic.
Problem is, Bezos would never do that. He is not on that side of the fence.That's it. Bezos has enough money to change it back.
He could tell Fed Ex to fuck off (they have the stadium naming sponsorship and were threatening to pull it if Snyder kept the old name). Hell, he's already doing that to them with Amazon delivery.
Why would he? He's a big lib who buys into identity politics and wokeness.That's it. Bezos has enough money to change it back.
The injuns have no problem with it. At all. So, why should anyone else? I get tired of people being offended for other people. Drives me nuts.BTW if it isn't clear, I hate the old name and think it's a vile slur created from a time when collecting actual blood red skins from living people for bounty was a thing. I'll never even type it if I can avoid it
But I also on principle dislike anyone being woke-fucked into changing something that a lot of people liked.
So personally I like the fact they changed the name, though the new name albeit not intrinsically offensive is hot garbage
