He owns maybe 4% of the Club and is no way a “ Co-Owner” of the Washington Redskins.
The NFL basically forced Synder out so they could push social Justice, woke trash.
Hey Lester, It's not the commanders, they are the Redskins. Get it right.
💩
The problem with the NFL as apposed to the MLB & NBA, the football contracts are not guaranteed like baseball & basketball!
Going forward I still question the financial stability of WC football team!
Daniel Snyder still has more capital that these new owners combined!
And if their is any financial obligations by the new owners for other investments? It will impact their ability to sign and recruit players either through trades or franchise contracts!
We will see!!! 🏈
Who is cutting onions. You did that magic.
Ok
Congratulations! 🎊🎉🍾
Magic Johnson is a limited Partner A limited partnership is required to have both general partners and limited partners. General partners have unlimited liability and have full management control of the business. Limited partners have little to no involvement in management, but also have liability that's limited to their investment amount in the LP.
Congrats
I’m a LA fan all day but seeing what this brotha has done for dodgers and the lakers both won a chip in 2020 bc of him.
This guy had always caused problems to start with and was a bully.
the Washington Mohawks, Black Hawks, Aztecs, Incas, Apachies, a STRONG Native American WARRIOR Name!!!
This is meaningless where is the REPARATIONS OWED
Magic Johnson is being paraded around like a Minstrel show like he owns the team Johnson only has 2 % of the team which is nothing this is a sideshow sports means nothing the two white racist owners live in maryland where blacks do not live
Well im here now
Magic Johnson injected race into today's press conference, which is shameful. How about a white part owner complain that the NFL players should be 71% white for more diversity? Keep race out of the narrative black leaders!
Ima say this we weren’t mad at Snyder for not changing the so called “racist” name but becuz he’s just a terrible person and owner and didn’t care about the team and we saw it mannnnny times we miss the name
Tom is foolish..The name Redskins is NOT racist
No body likes the new name in DC …. Stop the propaganda!!!
New area we bout to be stupid now
New era 🚀🙏🏽💪🏾
The name "Redskins" was not racist and was, in fact, how Native Americans referred to themselves as opposed to the "white skinned" colonists. The logo itself was meant to represent Chief Tammany, and tribal leaders were involved in the design process.
Racial slurs exist, but have you ever once in your life heard someone use the term "Redskin" as a pejorative?
Magic Johnson played for my favorite basketball team now he owns some of my favorite NFL team yes 😁
Fans didn’t dislike Snyder because he refused to change the name for so long. Nice try NBC.
CHANGE THE NAME TO THE WASHINGTON REDWOLVES!
Incoming "me too" scandal on magic Johnson 😂😂
We weren't angry about the name. We still referring to people in America as Black or White. i.e. "Black Skin" and "White Skin". Hispanics aren't called "Brown" skin people in public nor do refer to Asian's as Yellow peoples without issue. Make it make sense.
Why aren't whites considered European Americans, since that is what they are?
Fans were disappointed and disgruntled about a plethora of issues… the NAME was the least of our concerns… to the point… most fans know it was more about the skin tone of the logo…. but, we all know what that was about! Do the math. REDSKINS!!! FOR THE DUB!
Wth was Magic talkin about? 😂
The name commanders includes all races Of people on all platforms The name redskins was a racist name that only really included red people which are white so please don't change the name.#COMMANDERS
SHOWTIME!
