Given that the ESPN-NFL Media deal requires regulatory approval, I think people are too quick to assume that the hard part is over. We just saw what Paramount went through to complete its merger with Skydance. Just something to keep in mind when the NFL announces the agreement.

So the NFL is gonna force the Washington Commanders to change their name back, to get the deal done, huh?

Why would you propose something like this at this time? Hire a defensive coordinator to game this out if you can't.

Looks like Trump is finally going to own that NFL franchise he sacrificed the USFL for, but that Pete Rozelle denied him in 1985.

Step 1: Trump will spout off about DEI in the NFL and threaten networks that cover NFL. Step 2: Executives of said networks will come to the WH for negotiations. Step 3: Trump's gold ballroom will get the needed funding. Step 4: Deal is approved. Step 5: media says "sounds good, we're done here."
