Washington Commanders Acquisition

Joshua Jordan Harris is an American investor, sports team owner, and philanthropist. He is a co-founder of the private equity firm Apollo Global Management and a managing partner of the NBAs Philadelphia 76ers and the NHLs New Jersey Devils. In July 2021, NFL owners unanimously approved Josh Harris purchase of the Washington Commanders, a professional American football team based in the Washington metropolitan area, from Dan Snyder for a record-breaking $6.05 billion. The deal, the largest sales transaction for a sports team at the time, marked the ending of scandal-plagued billionaire owner Dan Snyders two-plus-decade run, as the team looked to bounce back from a troubled stretch mired in controversies.
