The issue of where they’re going to play 10 years from now is unsettled and will likely turn very messy. This is one incentive for Snyder to sell, as nobody wants to work with him. If he keeps the team he won’t have an easy time finding somewhere to play; a new owner would find the sailing considerably smoother. So, no, not buying the team.

If I hit the PowerBall I'll buy them and change the name to the DC Gridlock.

That (hitting the PowerBall) wouldn't even get you in the running. The most recent sale of a NFL team was the Denver Broncos earlier this year. They sold for $4.65 billion to an heir of the Walton family.

Today's Powerball is an estimated $1.2 billion, with a cash payout of @ $600 million

On a down payment. Washington is a storied franchise in a prime east coast market. I think the Broncos sale price is in the ballpark of what they’ll fetch. I’m thinking at least $3.5 billion.

Man, can Elon Musk buy them please?! I know @LionJim wouldn’t like it, but it would be so funny to watch. Just think of the memes! Washington Fighting Teslas!

I can't imagine Jeff Bezos passing on this sale. He already owns the Washington Post, and he is building a massive eastern headquarters for Amazon next to National Airport. Heck, he can even revisit the development of that tract of land south of National Airport that is now a crappy mall and build a state-of-the-art stadium that would make Sofi look like a playground sandbox.

According to this ... https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeoz...t-valuable-sports-teams-2022/?sh=73481a67385c ... the most valuable EPL club is #19 on the list, behind 12 NFL clubs, 3 NBA clubs, 2 La Liga Clubs and 1 MLB club. There's only 3 more EPL clubs in the top 50. 30 NFL clubs make the list. 7 NBA. 5 MLB. 4 EPL (and 4 from other professional soccer leagues).

Coulda fooled me. Nice research. This board straightens out a lot of misconceptions.

Liverpool FC is up for sale and I have been expecting a big price tag.

LOL. That’s a point of view. Let’s see what Man Utd sells for. It’s going to lap that $5B estimate by a large margin. My guess is north of $7B and that will be driven by status not necessarily intrinsic value.

You’re going to have a Middle East nation’s sovereign fund step in and buy it.

I'm pretty sure every pro sports org that is sold goes for a price well above the typical valuation you'd get from a source like Forbes.

Wouldn't it be a conflict of interest for an owner of a media content provider to also own a team, especially when broadcast contracts are being decided? Maybe it doesn't work the way I think. I'm sure Grim Reaper will clue me in.

The NFL might have rules about this, dunno.

Does the Washington Post broadcast games? I think that would be more of an issue than a newspaper. But, I can see your point.
