Great to see that this looks like it will finally happen and the franchise can move forward with hopefully more clarity and a lot less baggage.

Congratulations! Hopefully the team is getting back to its best soon, loved competing against the HogMollys in the 80s and early 90s, some real old school down and dirty bash and crash football between two great franchises. Snyder just ruined you guys for two decades...

See Owners thread, NFL finance group/owners might still reject the sale due to concerns over the minority owners included in the Washington bid

Nah, no chance, that is Danny trying to put pressure on for an indemnity from the NFL and new owners for any claims against him stemming from the findings of the various league investigations. Worst case the Harris group restructures to drop one or two of the minor parties and consolidates into a smaller number of bidders. No red flags from any of the Harris group bid partners, more just that there are so many minor parties in the bid it will take time to vet them all.
 
The Washington Post’s Mark Maske and Nicki Jhabvala report, “Legal issues between the NFL and representatives for Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder threaten to complicate the approval and closing of Snyder’s $6.05 billion sale of the franchise to a group led by Josh Harris.”

According to the Post, it’s not exactly clear whether or not these issues will prevent the league and its owners from meeting next week to approve the sale of the team, but one person familiar with the situation described the issues as “significant” and “not just some small snag.” While it’s possible the league could delay the vote to oust Snyder in favor of Harris, it was also pointed out that these issues could be little more than Snyder and his attorneys “attempting to extract last-minute concessions from the NFL.” Whether this delays the sale or not, Snyder appears to be on the outs when all is said and done. The league appears ready to be done with Snyder and his history of antics that have made the Commanders a near-impossible team to support and/or market. The league is set to vote on the sale on July 20th, giving them a little less than a week to iron out whatever issues are at hand.

**** me. Sad for all the Washington fans and being unable to move forward due to legalities.

The league has approved the Washington Commanders’ sale from Daniel Snyder to private equity investor Josh Harris for $6.05 billion in a unanimous vote.

It’s not officially official, but there is no turning back now. Harris could assume formal control as early as Friday. The owner of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers and NHL’s New Jersey Devils, Harris has had more success in those two sports than Snyder ever mustered in the NFL. Essentially anyone would be a better steward of this franchise than Snyder, even if they themselves prove to be a mediocre owner.

Seems to be a massive weight lifted off everyones shoulders the change of ownership, Kay did some interviews with some Washington players also, apparently lots more energy in the building, fans back turning out to practice.

 
By far the single best video I've ever seen produced by our in-house media team.

This was FANTASTIC and is a huge signal of how things are different now.

 
The Commanders literally haven't lost a game since Dan Snyder sold the team.

Undefeated in preseason, and now 2-0 to start the regular season.

Karma.
