Is it a conflict of interest or some legal issue with Bezos broadcasting/streaming games, and owning a NFL Franchise?

You know what...people hate Jerry Jones but when you actually think about Jeff Bezos owning your football team it makes you actually appreciate Jerry. Jerry was just an oil dude who loved everything about football so he bought a team. Jeff Bezos is some dude that just wants to own a team to say he owns a team. No thanks.

good,

It just doesn’t feel right, consultants, investment firms, targeting the Washington DC market….none of that is about football.

Jerry wasnt a oil man he was a scam artist with real estate properties.

A lot of football isn't about football anymore...unfortunately the game keep evolving and not all of it is good

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Washington continues to be a joke

 

[speedkilz88]

Washington Amazons

They won't be a dead horse for much longer. Thankfully we have Stephen to lead us into the future.

Shouldn’t be an issue, as it’s not Amazon itself that’s buying the Commanders. You could compare it to Ted Turner both broadcasting MLB games on TBS while owning the Braves

So will the players still have to pay for Prime?

That in no way makes me appreciate Jerry more.

Would Bezos insist on being the GM?

lol @ altruistic Saint Jerry Jones.

Every person who has purchased a sports franchise anywhere and at any time around the world wanted to 'own a team to say they owned a team'. Certain actions that Jerry Jones has committed, after he became an NFL owner, are what separate him from others, not his desire to own a professional sports team.

Excellent question.

You can hate Jerry as much as you want. He loves the Cowboys way more then Jeff Bezos will ever care for the Commanders. If hating him is your thing go for it. My argument stands pretty firm tho.

You cannot be a Cowboys fan and not hate Jerry Jones, what’s wrong with you? All the Sally Jane mom where’s my lunch money boys insist that you must hate Jerry Jones. I would provide names but the loser mods are very thin skinned.

I dislike Jones. I do not hate him.

Your argument is what it is. Question. How do you quantify Bezos’ motivations for purchasing the Washington franchise in your own words?

 

[stiletto]

If someone bought Washington and brought back the old name and said "deal with it" to the world. I'd probably have to re-consider my fan-hood.
