Washington Ownership News: Bruce Allen linked to negative publicity firm; Jeff Bezos interested in buying the team?

It has been a slow news week month, but any story involving Dan Snyder and a possible sale of the Washington Football Team is going to get some attention. We’ve been following the drama that has surrounded the franchise since the beginning of last season. Snyder and three of the franchise’s minority owners(Fred Smith, Dwight Scharr, and Robert Rothman) have been feuding and it is an ugly breakup. Fred Smith is the founder and CEO of FedEx and was influential in a pressure campaign that preceded the team changing their name from the Washington Redskins after decades of protests to change it.
