If it was still the Redskins it would be worth twice as much.

I bet Redskins/Commanders fans are thrilled. From what I hear, fans of the team have hated this owner.

At this point, I even doubt that changing the name back to Redskins would convince me to watch. The Redskins-Cowboys games had a certain panache.

Wow, these major league sports franchises are now valued in the billions. Unbelievable.
Dan Snyder walks away with a nice profit. Will the new owners turn things around and make a nice profit on their investment?
According to unconfirmed unpublished estimates, every NFL team makes a healthy profit every year, largely due to the TV contracts.

He’s almost the most hated owner in NFL history..................

Commanders? It should be the Prisoners! The Washington Prisoners. I wish I had the money to buy it because that is what I would name it.

It’s primarily the TV contacts but the deal the owners have with the players is
also critical, the NFL players union is no where near as strong as the MLB Unions, the guaranteed versus not guaranteed contract is a huge plus for the NFL owners

This points to a narrowing trust by wealthy individuals in available financial vehicles.
They're running out of things they trust to put their money in. See FTX crypto...

My 19 year old daughter heard the new name, and said that it sounded like the name of a fake college team in a movie. I think they should have stuck with "Washington Football Team". Redskins, or nothin'.

From Redskins to “Commanders.” I know they’re trying to be PC, and the reference is probably to the US Naval Academy. However, my wife’s reaction was that “Commanders” reminded her of the misogynistic bad guys in “The Handmaiden” series.
For me, it brought the image of being commanded by Washington DC.
