Matthew McConaughey joins Jay-Z and Jeff Bezos bid to buy NFL's Washington Commanders

Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey has joined Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and rap icon Jay-Z in their attempt to buy the Washington Commanders.

Last week, 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. He has owned the Washington franchise since 1999 and the 57-year-old already has four interested buyers, according to Forbes.

Bezos has expressed interest in owning an NFL franchise for some time and has ties to the area. The 58-year-old, who owns the Washington Post newspaper, has reportedly partnered with Jay-Z in a bid to buy the Commanders.
