Dan Snyder buying out 3 minority owners 40.5% stake in the Washington Football Team

The fight between Washington Football Team majority owner Dan Snyder, and three minority owners(Fred Smith, Dwight Schar, and Robert Rothman) could finally be ending soon. The dispute has turned very bitter, especially between Snyder and Schar, and there have been multiple lawsuits filed between the two billionaires in the US and abroad. The minority owners group has been trying to sell their shares, and reportedly had buyers lined up. Snyder said he would buy the shares of Smith and Rothman, but not Schar’s. There has also been speculation that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had interest in buying the team as he looks to become an NFL owner.
