Courtside/No Capitals Team Is Too Expensive

According to MLB rules, 24 of the 32 teams must vote in favor of any proposed change of ownership.

On June 7 in New York City, the NFL met for two and a half hours with the chiefs' two main investors. Two days after the meeting, MLB sent a notice to the teams, asking them to prepare for special meetings on July 20 and August 8.

The current buyer of the Washington Commandant is proposing an unprecedented $6.50 billion. At a special meeting in Minnesota last summer, participants agreed that the Broncos, from Denver, Colorado, would change hands for $4.65 billion.

The main buyers of the Commandants already own the Philadelphia 76ers of the American and Canadian Men's Professional Basketball League (NBA) and the New Jersey Devils of the North American Hockey League (NHL). The investment team also includes Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr., 63, a 12-time All-Star in professional basketball.

Representatives of major league teams usually defer to the review of the finance committee, which is composed of eight team owners; In other words, the new buyer must be able to pass the financial review before it has a chance to receive a full vote.

MLS's finance committee has now completed an audit of the easier financial arrangements for the ownership of the Commandos, so closing the deal should be imminent.

The Commandos are scheduled to start a pre-game team training camp on July 26, start a warm-up game on August 11, and start a regular season schedule against the Arizona Cardinals on September 10.
