From Snyder to Magic Johnson, fitting that guy known for bullying and intimidation in the workplace will now be a big figure with a team named the “Commanders”
I was under the impression that the rule was if you owned an NFL team, you could not own another franchise in another sport if it wasn’t in the same city.
Is there a bypass where if it’s part of an “ownership group”, it’s superseded as long as it’s not one person or that person isn’t the majority owner?
For example, and I could be wrong on this, but I don’t think Mark Cuban as sole owner of the Mavs could outright buy the Detroit Lions and be sole owner.
Today the NBA announced a $750k fine for that. Which is peanuts for what he gained. Its also interesting that the NBA will probably do whatever it is they do with fine money and won’t refund the fans who bought tickets for a different game than the one that happened.
He’s not. They just needed something to push him out of his power spot in the organization.
Yea I’m sure that fine will teach them a lesson for tanking. Fining a multi billionaire 750,000 is very impressive, lol That’s like fining most people about 5 bucks.
Yea, I’m with you man! It’s disgusting really. People pay insane money for tickets, hotels, flights, and then star players take the day off. That’s one of the main reasons why I don’t attend games anymore. If the Lions win a playoff game or two, I might be willing to change my stance, but not until then.
