Josh Harris thought Bezos would outbid him for the Commanders

thankfully he didn’t
not sure i would have liked bezos as owner. josh seems more down to earth and he’s run sports teams before.
i fear bezos would not run the team properly
I was good with anyone but Snyder. I even thought Bezos would be good because of the money he has. With that said Harris is engaged and you need that from an owner. You want him to be involved but also let people that he hires do their job. Bezos is busy playing celebrity and I don’t think he would’ve been as invested as Harris. So I think we got the right guy.
Also Bezos clearly didn’t want the team. So I know we got the right guy. No different than Ben Johnson. I want people in the organization that want to be here.
Bezos would have data driven decisions and put the right people in the right places with a high hiring bar.
However, he has zero experience or connections (other than his celebrity status) with actually owning any sports team. If bezos owned the team, it would be very successful evenrtually, but his lack of experience we would have gone through some rough patches first.
So Josh winning is the best for all of us, and get us to being competitive sooner.

I already work for the guy. I’d prefer not to hear about him outside of work.
