Bezos selling Washington post and buying commanders
- Thread starter Obliviax
- Start date
There’s more to this than meets the eye. I believe it’s part of a master plan to turn the NFL into an online game controlled by Amazon and destroy the retail attendance market.
I don’t like Washington having competent ownership.
Selling the WaPo? That is the bigger news. Don’t give a damn about some football team.
Who is buying it? Will new owners change its liberal bias/smear machine style?
They should start by scheduling better matchups. Every Amazon game this season was a goat rodeo. But I could see a day where everything is ppv on something like Prime. Don't know how that kills live attendance but from the ppv angle it seems they're lubing us up for something like this.
After paying my cable bill, it feels like ppv is already here.

I think games moving to steaming services in inevitable, but not for some time. The traditional broadcast networks and ESPN are paying massive money for the TV rites and can likely do so for another 10 -15 years or so. But agree the NFL will sell rites to whatever medium places the highest bid.
That's my question. Can someone turn the post back into an objective source of the news or will they remain a liberal, communist propaganda machine.
These rags aren't worth much anymore. I guess there's online readership but their credibility has been eroded over decades.
No, but don’t let that stop you from starting a ridiculous conspiracy theory of your own if you want.
Problem is they continue to brainwash the morons that live in these cities and the results are horrific.
Ha! The new one is that Damar Hamlin wasn’t actually at the game yesterday. Twitter idiots are insisting he passed away and the Bills just brought out some other dude as a stand in. I worry for our species.
you may be 100% right...but I see that Directv is no longer going to carry their "game day" package. Last I saw, youtube, or one of those streaming services was going to buy the rights. There likely will still be the hometown games televised on traditional TV but, like you said when it becomes more lucrative even these rights will be sold. They better be careful they don't strangle the goose that lays the..you know the rest
Is this a serious report? I see nothing at ESPN/WAPO or Yahoo NFL pages?
EDIT: NVM, found source, NY Post, which is reporting internet chatter, nothing concrete. Basically Snyder won't sell to Bezos unless he disposes of WaPo, which has been nailing all the crazy Snyder stuff behind the scenes.
FWIW, I don't understand why anyone would buy money-losing entities unless they are so rich they need losses to write off. I'd be shocked if Bezos made money on a sale of WaPo

Several have changed their reporting to say ‘may’
If true, it begs the question if owning a franchise and media company, would create a conflict of interest that might preclude Amazon from future media rights.
Conflicts of interest are so 60 years ago.
Now you just say look, we're fully invested in a company that's going to provide a service at this obscene amount of compensation and although it LOOKS like we might have a say in whether or not our company gets the contract you needn't worry. We've been fully vetted and there's absolutely no conflict here. We're 100% impartial in any decision making. Trust us.
This is what Congress and the PSU Board of Trustees does. It's a proven strategy that is completely iron-clad and bulletproof. The mere appearance of impropriety is of no concern because you can trust us, peon. No go take your conspiracy theories elsewhere. I have checks to cash.
