Unprecedented times call for unprecedented thought exercises, and we are most definitely in unprecedented times. In the past week, the Washington Redskins’ edifice, which was shaky to begin with, has been dealt successive damaging blows. First, there was a broad, public call to change the name. Then, sponsors, including FedEx, threatened to pull their funding. Shortly thereafter, Nike and others pulled Redskins’ merchandise from their stores, and most recently, the three minority shareholders in the team, Robert Rothman, Dwight Schar, and Frederick Smith, have made public their desire to sell their share (about 40%) of the team, in order to distance themselves from the growing mess and Dan Snyder’s incompetence.
Could Jeff Bezos end up buying the Redskins?
