NFL owners unanimously approve Washington Commanders sale

One of the most tumultuous ownership tenures in NFL history is near its end. Dan Snyder selling the Washington Commanders to an investment group led by Josh Harris was approved by the league’s ownership on Thursday.

As was announced by the league, the result was unanimous: all 31 owners, including the New England Patriots’ Robert Kraft, voted in favor of the sale. While the final details have yet to be worked out between Snyder and Harris, the keys to the Commanders franchise will change hands in the near future.

“Congratulations to Josh Harris and his impressive group of partners,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement.
