Jeff Bezos Not Buying Redskins Despite Interest in Owning NFL Team
By Michael Luciano
Sorry, Washington Redskins fans. The Dan Snyder era is set to continue.
With Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who owns the Washington Post, moving to Washington DC, there were rumors abound that he would consider purchasing an NFL franchise, prying the franchise away from Snyder. However, Jason La Canfora reported that Snyder has no intention of selling the team.
If there was any confusion about my item about Jeff Bezos's interest in purchasing an NFL team, at the same time he is moving to DC, this has nothing to do with the Skins. Unrelated. Article did not imply it was related but just want to be totally clear. Skins not for sale

Much has been made of how apocalyptically bad the Redskins have been since Snyder purchased the team, and every bit of it is justified. The Redskins are 140-188-1 under Snyder's watch and have gone through nine head coaches in 17 seasons.
While Bezos is still unproven as an owner, anything that would eliminate Snyder from the conversation would be a welcomed sight for Washington sports fans.
Too bad. We are as Skin’s fans are looking for another 20 years of disfunction and winning off the field....what a joke

Bezos could have saved the Redskins from another decade or two of Snyder's authoritarian rule that has produced minimal success, but it appears that the status quo is unlikely to change any time soon. You have our condolences, Redskins faithful.
