I think its not that they wouldn't and more they would view the other option as the lesser of two evils.

 

in that scenario owners could

 

A: Vote Dan out (setting precedent for an owner to lose his team), then sale the team to their preferred buyer.

or

B: Take a less preferred buyer/amount of $ and not set precedent other remaining owners would live in fear of.

 

 

Judging by how owners have operated to this point, its not crazy to see them choosing option B in that scenario, In fact I'd say its likely.

The bigger concern would be about whether it gets to that Mexican standoff in the first place. There are a lot of factors at play.

other leagues have already set that precedent.

They haven’t yet.  And they really want him to leave on his own accord rather than actually holding the vote and forcing him out.

It’s hard to imagine any new owner being worse than Dan.

 

The new owner will have a honeymoon period. Even if he’s an asshole and does some things early on like Dan did; as long as he puts up a consistent winner, he will be fine. If he doesn’t build a consistent winner, then he will lose more fans and team would likely relocate.

The new owner’s first order of business (besides the day to day stuff like staffing) is going to be getting going on a new stadium. They won’t be relocating under any circumstances, even if they’re bad they won’t be hated like Snyder’s team actively is.

Will Mr. Snyder be inducted into the the Team Hall of Fame by 2025?

Exactly what I’m thinking. The other owners are giving him a chance here. If he doesn’t sell his entire share, they’ll vote him out. No one will want Dan alongside, even with him as a minority owner.

I say we just take a photo of him and his wife next to the port a potties with a small Commanders flag. It should be good enough.

the whole all or part thing is a face saving measure.  He can just say he's received an incredible offer for all of the team

The ol' classic statement on the statement. I hate this team, and kind of wish I could just let go and be a Raiders fan like the rest of my family. 

I take this back.

Bezos may be adding NFL owner to his resume. CNN recently reported that Bezos and Jay-Z are in talks on a potential joint bid on the Washington Commanders.

It is not clear if the two have yet spoken with Dan Snyder and his wife, Tanya, the current owners of the NFL team, about the possibility.

But during the interview on Saturday, Melas asked Bezos if the speculation was true.

“Yes, I’ve heard that buzz,” Bezos said with a smile.

Sánchez chimed in with a laugh, “I do like football. I’m just going to throw that out there for everyone.”

Bezos added, “I grew up in Houston, Texas, and I played football growing up as a kid … and it is my favorite sport … so we’ll just have to wait and see.”

FWIW, Rick Snider was on The Junkies this morning and his belief is this is Snyder's chance to get out and save face but there is no way he can come back with partial ownership.  The NFL has "24 reasons" why that's not an option.

[Zim489]

It’ll be Bezos come March at the latest. Hopefully In 6 weeks time at the earliest

Did Jeff grow up a Cowboys or Oilers fan? or a fan from a different city.. If he grew up an Oilers fan maybe he hates the Cowboys as much as most Oilers/Texans fans did/do?

His girlfriend really seems to want him to buy the team. She did cost him 38 billion in his divorce what’s another 7 or 8 billion to keep her happy?

I think its prudent to point out that the most damaging thing Snyder could do to the NFL is not stiffing them on their preferred choice of owner or rejecting maximum offer for the Commanders, but rather making the other owners vote him out of the club. He could refuse to sell at all until the other members make him do it.

 

If his main goal was to go scorched earth and make his departure hurt as much as possible, he'd make the other owners do the one thing they don't want to do. That fact that he is already setting things up w/ BoA speaks volumes to some level of both cooperation w/ the NFL and an attempt to save face. It may not be the entirety of his motivation, but there is some level of cooperation w/ the NFL's desires already at play that would not be here if he chose the full on child-like temper tantrum route.

 

In short, I think a lot of what we are seeing lends even more credence to the Bezos pathway.

Once Tanya got booed loudly at the game and the other owners told her it’s time to sell it was game over. If she wasn’t involved, it would be far more scorched earth in my opinion. She probably convinced him let’s take the 7 or 8 billion and exit stage left.

Once again... she likes football.
