Jeff Bezos is not going to bid on the Washington Commanders, a source close to him said Wednesday, ending a pursuit that struggled to mount any momentum.
Bezos had some interest in buying the franchise, and his presence hovered over the proceedings despite his never having made a bid. He even hired a firm, Allen & Co., to explore a bid.
In March, a source close to Bezos said Commanders owners Dan and Tanya Snyder were blocking him from the bidding, which multiple sources close to the Snyders denied.
Bezos owns The Washington Post, which published several investigative stories over the past three years that led to issues for Snyder and the organization.
