Man gets punished with billions of dollars wow.

[-] militant_spider@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

But at least he’s gone.

[-] MisterChief@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

He purchased the team for $800 million in 1999, about $1.5 billion in today's money. He sold for over $6 billion. So he was fined $60 million after everything? That's a rounding error when we're talking about that type of money.

Still bad man gone.

I tried a shot at the math, $60MM looks to be about 1.9% of what he sold the team for. Talk about a very light tap on the wrist haha! I mean a JR Bacon Cheeseburger and some petrol might be 1.9% for me. These people are wealthier beyond belief.

Now can they go back to being Washington Football Team?

[-] InactiveBeef@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I really liked that name and it's a shame they decided against it.

[-] thedouble@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Definitely better than the Commanders

[-] thessnake03@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Good riddance

[-] Nurgle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Fuck, I’m gonna miss Synder. Not for the objectively terrible person he is, but for the objectively terrible football team owner he was.

[-] isaachernandez@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Team can actually move on now. Should be better for the league as a whole.

[-] ATQ@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

“Trust the process” commie fans!

[-] black_ram@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I felt like this day would never come. Just purchased tickets for the first time in forever, let's sell this place out like we used to. Left hand up!
