Re: Josh Harris = New Owner!?
Why are we stupid? Everyone knows the adage 'you can't believe everything that you read' and yet here we are believing something has credence because some guy on Twitter bought a blue check mark.
Put some weight in the source's credibility, for god's sake. If you don't know who is posting the information, then you should be assuming it's wrong until it's corroborated by somebody who you do know. If you see Schefter, Rapoport, Jeremy Fowler, JP Finlay, John Keim, Ben Standig, or somebody like that confirming it then you can believe it. And if this unknown person on Twitter is right enough times and corroborated by other credible sources, then you can start lending some credence. Until then assume it's bullshit. Jesus Christ guys, critical thinking much?

I know that that sale of the team has been covered by the financial media. But, from the sports side, this type of breaking news will only come from the likes of Schefter, Rappaport, Fowler; or local reporters like Keim, JP, Standig, or Nicki Jhabvala.

Our society's disturbing inability to think critically about what is real and what is fake is scary and it shows what can be done in a society without a free press. If that can happen here, imagine what is happening in Moscow and Pyongyang. Bringing it back to football, I'd rather not see the lack of critical thought here on this site. This is supposed to be Commanders discussion for the knowledgeable fan. We should all be able to tell a credible report when we see it.

Though I agree with your highlighted statement I am not sure that is occurring here in this thread. I would relate the the information/ speculation in this thread to the gleeful daydreaming of a first grader about what he may get from "Santa" this coming Xmas.

Re: Josh Harris = New Owner!?
Another way to think of it; how many people on the internet would you be willing to give a sum of money to? If they asked you for it, what thought process would you go through, what questions would you ask? Maybe thoughts might come to mind like, what are you going to do with the money, how do I know you'll spend it the way you say you will, is this possibly a scam, etc.
When money gets involved all of a sudden more people begin to think about their actions. Think that critically about what you read. Why be any less thoughtful with your trust in the words of others than you are with your money in the hands of others?
