Ron Rivera breaks silence on Dan Snyder following Washington Commanders sale

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera appears to be relieved now that the franchise is being sold, after offering his thoughts on the change of ownership.

Dan Snyder bought the franchise back in 1999, but it appears that Josh Harris and NBA legend Magic Johnson are set to take over after having a record bid accepted. Their offer of just over $6billion (£4.83bn) means the franchise will become the most expensive team in sports team history, should the deal goes through.

Snyder has been exploring a sale for some time following the controversial ownership of him and partner Tanya, and the Commanders franchise has been left in limbo while the NFL investigate. But Rivera is ready to move on and focus on football, following news that the Commanders are set to receive new owners.
