Jeff Bezos takes first step to buying Washington Commanders despite NFL side costing $7bn

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is ready to sell the Washington Post newspaper in order to raise enough funds to bid for the Washington Commanders of the NFL.

Back in November, the Commanders announced controversial owner Dan Snyder had hired Bank of America to explore the sale of the team, although it is unclear if he would sell the entire team or just add a minority partner to the mix. The 58-year-old has owned the Washington franchise since 1999.
