Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder agreed to sell his team to Lakers legend Magic Johnson and Sixers owner Josh Harris.
Snyder's tenure as owner of the Commanders was plagued by several controversies, especially over the last few years. In 2020, 15 former employees claimed they were sexually harassed and/or verbally abused in the workplace.
Things were allegedly so bad, Congress stepped in, with several former Commanders staffers testifying on Capitol Hill. Once the sale is final, it will be the biggest transaction in U.S. sports history -- passing the Denver Broncos franchise, which sold to Walmart billionaire Rob Walton for $4.6 billion in 2022.
The sale adds to Magic's growing collection of professional sports teams in which he has an ownership stake -- including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Sparks and LAFC.If the sale goes through, there will be plenty of Commanders fans thrilled with the new era for the franchise.
