If you’ve followed social media at all Thursday, you’ve likely seen multiple NFL owners on escalators. Of course, NFL owners are in Minneapolis for a big meeting. On Thursday, owners are expected to vote on the sale of Washington Commanders from Daniel Snyder to Josh Harris for $6.05 billion.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was one of those owners spotted in Minneapolis, and he was asked if Thursday would be a big day for fans of the Commanders.
Snyder’s longtime confidante responded.
“I think it’s going to be a great day for the NFL,” Jones said. ” Excited, and I think it’s a hallmark day. Excited about the prospects of going into Washington and giving ’em some capital punishment.”
