With the long-awaited sale of the Commanders now official as of Thursday, Colts owner Jim Irsay wasted little time in voicing his support for the move following the seismic announcement.
The 24-year tenure of owner Dan Snyder and his family came to an end after NFL owners voted unanimously to approve the sale of the Commanders to the Josh Harris Group for $6.05 billion. The sale culminated roughly nine months after a public push from Irsay calling for the removal of Snyder as owner amid an ongoing investigation into years of workplace misconduct allegations.
In a statement shared with NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the 64-year-old Colts owner kept it short and sweet while reacting to Thursday’s news. The sale of the Commanders also coincided with the news of Snyder receiving a $60 million fine following the release of attorney Mary Jo White’s findings from the investigation.
