The stadium thread 2: New stadium boogaloo

I'd rather have Bon Jovi buy the team. (Wasn't he trying to go in with a group on the Bills?)

Why do we always want the crazy assholes who talk the loudest?

Why can't there just be some normal billionaire out there who enjoys football, wants to own a franchise, win some titles, and also recognize he doesn't know shit about football so he'll hire the appropriate people to run the franchise? And also doesn't mind signing checks - we don't want the football equivalent of the Lerners running the team.

If Elon or Bezos want to own a franchise it's not because they wanna win Lombardis, it's because they recognize in 20 years the value of NFL franchises has doubled/tripled/quadrupled in some cases. Danny paid under a bil for this team years ago and if he sells he's looking at 3-5 billion.

Looks like congress removed the big hurdle that Dan felt was imposing for a zoom but alas he is in Europe on "business"

Does this exist ? I'm not sure you get to that level of wealth by being a normal balanced person...

My bad, I wasn't trying to start a political debate, and I'm aware there are different kinds of people at any social position. And obviously you can find more competent billionaires than Snyder, and less noisy ones than Musk.

The words "normal" and "billionaires" just sounded oxymoric to me.
I'll also add that, while the NFL is a lucrative business, candidates to buy an NFL franchise would likely tend to also be people attracted by the spotlights and jet-set clout that come with owning one of 32 NFL franchise. Which doesn't really screams "normal" to me.

But I'll be the first to cheer a quiet and competent owner buying this team, if this ever happens.

Nah I didn't see it as you trying to start a political debate at all. I just thought I should share the information that shows there are billionaires who are relatively unknown to the public.

I agree with you on the bold part. I wish there is a way for the public to turn Commanders' private ownership into the public ownership (i.e., Packers). It would have been easy for the shareholders to vote Snyder out. I'm simply dumbfounded by how Snyder has ruined this team and there is nothing we can do about it.

I never gave it much thought about the owners of sports teams or owners of businesses that sell products I buy or the establishments I frequent.. I either like the team , product , establishment or I move on … I am more concerned with the coach’s and players , the product I buy , and the sevice I receive in a nice restaurant.. I would bet that Snyders allegations are right up there with our politicians… and we all suffer for there failures !

Man I hope goodell throws Danny under the bus.
