Bezos using tech empire to spearhead Redskins buyout — For once, I’m on Snyder’s side…

I’m a lifelong Redskins fan. So, when I say there is one man in the NFL who deserves to have his franchise ripped from his cold, dead hands it’s Dan Snyder — you can believe I’m being sincere. I’ve spent most of my years as a fan watching this smug asshole spend wildly while the Redskins always find ways to fall apart each season no matter who the coach is or who is on the roster. That leaves one person footing the bill – Snyder…

But I’d gladly take another decade of losing if it meant the team wasn’t owned by the lord of hell, the terminator of freedom, the nerd rat Jeff Bezos. Bezos who stole billions from Mom and Pops during lockdown so he could apparently use that money to leverage a Redskins buyout via tabloid hit pieces in the Washington Post…

According to this article from FrontOfficeSports, Bezos’ lawyer is speaking with the investment banking firm who owns the Redskins after his garbage paper the Washington Post leveled two thinly sourced hit pieces on Snyder last year which have worked to demolish trust within the organization while pushing out key members of the old guard at the club… What’s worse, Snyder accuses Bezos of using an Indian-based operation to spread false and malicious lies about his relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Front Office Sports previously reported on majority owner Dan Snyder’s claims that real estate exec Dwight Schar — one of the three minority shareholders — led “an extortion campaign” to force Snyder to sell his stake.

On Monday morning, a filing that mentions Bezos’ attorney was made in a New Delhi courtroom. It was part of Snyder’s defamation lawsuit, originally filed in August, against Indian media company MEA WorldWide.

In that lawsuit, Snyder’s attorneys claimed that MEA WorldWide published a string of false stories and social media posts erroneously stating Snyder had ties to sex trafficking and was close to sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

Snyder’s lawyers wrote that John Moag, the founder of Moag & Co., had advance knowledge of MEA WorldWide’s “corrupt disinformation campaign by, among other things, spreading malicious lies” about Snyder.

“Keep an eye on the Redskins, it’s getting very interesting,” Moag texted a person on July 3, 2020. Their name was redacted in a screen capture attached to the filing.

The alleged misinformation campaign began on July 16, the same day The Washington Post published the first of two lengthy stories on allegations of workplace harassment by former and current women employees of The Washington Football Team.

Moag was hired by the team’s three minority owners to explore a sale of their shares in the team. Two California billionaires, Behdad Eghbali and Jose Feliciano, offered to purchase the minority stake of about 40%, The Washington Post reported.

Less a buyout than a bailout I suspect...

The Dan Synder era has nothing to brag about, but I can’t imagine Bezos doing any better.

The NFL should crash and burn. It is a detriment to our nation and well being.

I don’t care, as I have dropped the NFL form my life, but the spectacle of an arrogant sleazeball being attacked by people more arrogant and slimier could be entertaining.

If the NFL were smart, it would encourage the Cooke family to buy the team back — but if the NFL were smart, it would do something about the racists who are protesting our flag, anthem, and country.

"Bezos who stole billions from Mom and Pops during lockdown..."

I honestly do not understand this sentence. How did Bezos steal from stores that were closed? How did Bezos steal from stores when people were willingly staying home and Amazon offers overnight free shipping to your doorstep? Bezos buying an NFL team means absolutely NOTHING to me, but I'm just not sure how demonizing him helps.

Why does anyone care about the NFL anymore ?

Or the NBA, or Noosecar, or any of the other professional sports that worship at the cathedral of WOKE ?

He and his Chicom cronies, along with the Chicom-influenced WHO, and deep-state allies used covid to line their pockets. This has nothing to do with a free market

If the team were purchased by the world’s largest purveyor of Spanish peanuts do you think he could call the team the Redskins? Albeit he would have to change the logo from a Native American to a peanut.
