It’s Thursday, July 20 — and you know what that means.
NFL owners will convene in Minneapolis Thursday to vote on the sale of the Washington Commanders. A group led by Josh Harris agreed to purchase the Commanders from Daniel Snyder for $6.05 billion in May. After some twists and turns, the day has finally arrived for a new owner for one of the NFL’s flagship franchises.
No more fans saying, “We will believe it when we see it,” or “It will never happen.”
It’s happening, folks.
At some point Thursday afternoon, a depressing 24-year chapter in Washington’s 91-year franchise history ends when NFL owners unanimously approve Harris and his partners as the Commanders’ new owners.
There will be parties celebrating Washington’s fresh start.
On Wednesday, fans, media and others took to Twitter to celebrate a day many thought would never come.

If you’re BEYOND excited Dan Snyder will no longer be our owner raise both your hands in the air… #HTTC #HTTR pic.twitter.com/OgMtafgEiv

Where is Dan ahead of the big day?
Dan Snyder’s yacht sailed from Capri Italy to Castellammare di Stabia and his jet landed nearby at an airport outside Naples.

The son of a Washington legend
It’s like Christmas Eve waiting for the big day. Appreciate everyone that has kept loving this team even through the Dan Snyder era. Shows how great our fan base really is. Onwards and upwards.

Another perspective
Happy for folks that can savor Dan Snyder's exit tomorrow. I'm not gonna pee on anyone's parade, it's unmistakably good news no matter how you slice. Though his rebrand finally killed it for me, I remember what it felt like to want him gone more than anything in the world. Enjoy.
