Does Washington Post Redskins Sexual Harassment Story Mean Jeff Bezos Wants Team From Dan Snyder?
ONN – Does Washington Post Redskins Sexual Harassment Story Mean Jeff Bezos Wants Team From Dan Snyder?
The Washington Post story of sexual harrassment and verbal abuse claims at the once-Washington Redskins is horrible. 15 women have come forward to talk to The Washington Post about what they experienced while working for the NFL organization. Moreover, The Post reports that the claims “span most of Daniel Snyder’s tenure as owner, running from 2006 to 2019”.
So, for some reason this blogger’s spider sense started to tingle. And the image came into my head of a smiling Jeff Bezos in NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s luxury box for Super Bowl LIII. On Twitter, many speculated why Bezos would be there, but the guesses were not linked to possible future NFL ownership.
But then, as I searched further, reports connecting Jeff Bezos with the now-former Washington Redskins surfaced; speculation, as far back at 2013, that he could be the Redskins next owner.
And then there was a column stating that the best way to get Washington Redskins Owner Daniel Snyder to change the name is to pay him. That too was as far back at 2013.
But the kicker is that Jeff Bezos now lives in Washington D.C., and already owns The Washington Post. Indeed, he bought the Washington Post in, you guessed it, 2013, and for $250 million.
Now, come back to the recent posts linking Jeff Bezos as future owner of the Washington NFL Team, yet again. I think Jeff engineered that story. While there’s no evidence of The Washington Post using checkbook journalism, the possibility that it happened just feels right enough to consider. That, in no way, diminishes the stories of what happened to the 15 women who were the victims of sexual harassment at all. But you can’t ask that many people to take a risk and talk, especially in the middle of a pandemic.
The payoff for the NFL in landing Jeff Bezos as the new Washington NFL Team Owner would be gigantic. The world richest man buying the Washington NFL Team for, well, possibly for $3 billion, or perhaps even $4 billion, would be an enormous coup for Commissioner Goodell, and bring home the monetary bacon for NFL team owners. And in the middle of the Pandemic, no less.
Something to keep a very close eye on.
Stay tuned for more.
