Josh Harris is no stranger to conflict in the sports world. The billionaire investor entered major sports ownership in 2011, buying the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers. Two years later, he added an NHL team to his portfolio, with the New Jersey Devils. It was in 2023 that he made his biggest splash, however, spending a record $6.05 billion to buy the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder.
His portfolio places him in a very interesting place with his various fan bases. Philadelphia is a four-sport city famous for diehard fans of its teams, and the NHL's Flyers are nearby division rivals of the Devils. The relationship between Harris's Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles takes drives the awkwardness to a new level, however, as the NFC East franchises are fierce, longtime rivals.
