Washington Commanders sale on hold as NFL provide update on Magic Johnson-led deal

The NFL has confirmed a vote on the $6.05billion (£4.9b) takeover led by Philadelphia 76ers and Crystal Palace owner Josh Harris and his consortium, which includes NBA legend Magic Johnson, will not take place at next week's spring meetings, delaying a decision on the bid until the summer.
