DM:Jeff Bezos is interested in buying an NFL team

JohnF : 11/12/2019 11:55 am
Yeah, I know...Daily Mail...but the founder of Amazon wanting to be an owner is news worthy:

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is 'interested in buying an NFL team and already has the backing from current owners and league officials'
Pray he doesn’t buy Washington

Giants will never be for sale so that’s out.
Can we somehow convince him

to buy an NBA team (Knicks) instead?
Thursday night stream  
jestersdead : 11/12/2019 12:19 pm : link
would he be able to own a team and still have Amazon stream the Thursday night games?

Don't but the Deadskins i love Daniel Snyder in our division.. Bezo's might be a pretty good hands off owner.
Guess he has some pocket change

burning a hole in his pocket.

I don't think he would be a good NFL owner. He should try baseball where you can spend yourself out of trouble
Bad for

Why? Care to clarify? You think Jeff Bezos replacing, let's say, Daniel Snyder, is a bad thing for the NFL?

Ehh, there's no way to know how he'd be. I'm guessing he knows next to nothing about Football which is likely a good thing. He will hire the best and give them whatever they need to succeed.

We do not want him to buy the Skins.

But whenever I see a picture of Bezos reminds me of the Doctor Evil Character in Austin Powers movies.

Reminds me of that one eyed office clerk in Wayne's World.

You know of course he is a renowned cheapskate. Giving them whatever they need is not part of his MO
Sure that's possible

I would just assume that an investment like that as an outside would be a waste if you aren't going to then put out a good product.

It doesn't get worse than Snyder. Besos is an upgrade without even seeing a business plan, haha.
Somebody would be smart to sell to him

Who else can you sell a sports club to, for a whopping multi-billion dollar profit, and not have to bother with things like banks, minority interest holders or credit lines?

Well son...

it's what forums are about. It's an opinion one isn't required to explain anything. However I will clarify by saying that forums are where we enter engage and run our mouths, as I did and you did as well. It's not complicated when you understand the rules.

Quality.
Bezos would probably be a pretty good owner, he built his own empire  
Zeke's Alibi : 11/12/2019 3:27 pm : link
and doesn't strike me as a meddling fool. Guys like Snder and Jones dreamed about owning football teams one day, which is why you get so much hands-on ownership.
Welcome the Amazon Echo's to the NFL  
GiantEgo : 11/12/2019 3:49 pm : link
I think it's only a matter of time before some big ego will buy a team and name it after themselves or their company. Get ready to root for your favorite corporation.

But we kind of do that already.
