Johnson, who also has ownership interests in the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles FC, and Los Angeles Sparks, participated in Harris’ failed attempt to acquire the Denver Broncos in 2021.
Harris, his business associate David Blitzer, and reportedly Washington, D.C., businessman Mitchell Rales own the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils.
The Washington Commanders are the most expensive professional sports franchise in North America, with estimates of their sale price exceeding $5.6 billion.
Amid many investigations into employee behaviour and potential financial irregularities, the team’s current owners, Dan Snyder and his wife Tanya, are thinking about selling all or a piece of the business.
Due to several complaints of workplace harassment, Snyder’s ownership has drawn attention, which resulted in a league investigation and a $10 million fine.

The league engaged former US Attorney Mary Jo White to lead the inquiry, which is currently underway.
At a league meeting in October 2021, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay declared that Snyder had “merit to remove.” Snyder hired Bank of America Securities two weeks later.
The sale of the Washington Commanders would require the approval of three-quarters of NFL owners; this might occur at their upcoming meeting in Arizona.
