The Deal Is Done

Left Hand Up, You’re Going To Love This Guy, and much more!

Good morning everyone! Here's what news we ✨snagged✨ for you around the sports world today:

🐷 Left Hand Up

💜 You’re Going To Love This Guy

🚀 ...and much more! Let's get into it.

👑 Main Character

You know when the team’s main account is tweeting about how relieved it is to see its owner fade off into the sunset, something had to change.

The era of Dan Snyder wreaking havoc on the nation’s capital is officially over after the NFL owners came together to unanimously approve the $6.05 billion dollar sale of the Washington Commanders. Josh Harris will act as the figure head of the new ownership group that also includes Magic Johnson.

To make the sale sting all the more for the now-former owner of the team, Snyder is being fined $60 million after an independent investigation found allegations of sexual harassment by Snyder alongside deliberate underreporting of shareable revenues. This guy needed to go yesterday, but the deal is done, and now all of DMV can (and might) party like they just won the Super Bowl.

If you’re interested, read this blog from one of DC’s biggest supporters in the media on just how bad things really have been since he took over the team in 1999.

The cherry on top of all of this is after having to rebrand the team not once, but twice in the span of five years, it’s very likely the new ownership will have to change things up once again after the team failed to check on outstanding copyright laws.

Snagged Sports’ official vote is for the Washington Red Hogs.

Secondly, as a result of the show, Vikings’ QB Kirk Cousins has turned himself into one of the most likable dudes in maybe all of sports. This is just a sliver of evidence of how he’s done that.

🐣 Tweet of the Day

Who in the world knows what Harden means by this, but if his goal is winning a championship any time soon, he’ll do what’s smart and get comfortable taking the secondary role behind an All-NBA caliber talent. Oh wait, he already has that…
