Jeff Bezos makes final Washington Commanders takeover decision after Jay Z meeting

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is not going to bid for the Washington Commanders - with the storied NFL franchise up for sale by controversial owner Dan Snyder.

Bezos has held an interest in buying the Commanders and he was linked among the bidders for some time, despite never officially entering the race. He even hired a firm - Allen & Co. - to explore a bid, but he has pulled out according to Puck News.

In March, it was reported that Bezos - who has a reported net worth of $124billion (£99.12m) - had been blocked from bidding for the NFC East team by Snyder. The 59-year-old owns the Washington Post, which published a number of articles exposing the alleged cases of sexual harassment in the NFL franchise.
