Daniel Snyder thwarts Amazon’s Jeff Bezos from bidding for Commanders

It was never going to be easy to pry the Washington Commanders from Daniel Snyder.

According to the New York Post, the sales process hasn’t reached the heights the team owner wants, and one potential bidder isn’t welcome.

Late Friday, the paper reported Snyder has prevented Amazon owner Jeff Bezos from entering the bidding process for the football team.

Seems there are plenty of hard feelings from Snyder over the journalistic work Bezos’ Washington Post has done in unearthing alleged sexual harassment in the NFL team’s organization.

An unidentified bidder came in with an offer of around $5.5 billion by this week’s deadline, which was similar to the amount offered by 76ers and Devils owner Josh Harris, New York Post sources close to the situation said.
