Follow usAmazon founder Jeff Bezos has been barred from the opportunity to place a bid to buy the NFL club Washington Commanders, according to The Athletic.
Washington owner Dan Snyder continues his efforts to sell the club, holding out for a $6 billion bid for the franchise, but Bank of America–which has been guiding the current Washington owner through various potential sale options–has told Bezos he will not be allowed to submit a bid of his own.
It was previously reported in January that Dan and Tanya Snyder “preferred not to sell” the franchise to Bezos, and it doesn’t seem they have changed their stance.
The New York Post indicated on Friday that Snyder was preventing the Amazon CEO from entering the private auction.
The Snyder’s reportedly “hold a grudge” against Bezos, because he is the owner of the Washington Post, which had previously reported on the Commanders’ “toxic workplace culture” under Snyder.
The Washington Post published a series of stories documenting a culture of sexual harassment at the team that ultimately helped build the pressure to sell.
