Another American sports franchise has been sold for yet another record price.

NFL owners have unanimously approved the sale of the Washington Commanders for a record-setting mark of $6.05 billion, from the Snyder family to a group led by Josh Harris, who -- along with David Blitzer as part of the Harris-Blitzer Sports Entertainment group -- also owns the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils. The sale comes after a period of turmoil and multiple investigations of former owner Dan Snyder, who was also fined $60 million after attorney Mary Jo White released her findings following a lengthy investigation.
