Tuesday, Washington Post Live presented Business of Sports – Q and A with panelists Ted Leonsis, owner the Washington Capitals, Wizards and Mystics (Monumental Sports), Robert Tanenbaum, principal owner of the Washington Nationals and Marla Lerner Tanenbaum, chairperson of the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation, Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins and Will Chang, owner of D.C. United.
I was hoping and expecting that video of the entire event would be online, right now there are only clips. I have emailed Post PR and was told the video was being edited and I’d get a reply when its ready. Nothing yet, but if they ever do get it, I’ll post the video.The video has finally been posted
The Tanenbaums, particularly Robert, have not been the most active of the Nats principal owners (how can you have 5 principal owners anyway?) which I noted in the early post. Robert Tanenbaum noted that the Nats will win the World Series in the Year of the Bear. Obviously, I’m worried he’s right because:
THERE IS NO “YEAR OF THE BEAR”
Oh my, that built no confidence.
Meanwhile, DC Sports Bog has lots of coverage of course:
Snyder and Leonsis on the media D.C. sports owners rooting for each other Snyder: No to HBO’s Hard Knocks Snyder on FedEx Field
Also, Chang indicated that he’d like United to stay in D.C. and that he has a greater sense of urgency about finding a new home field for the soccer team. I have mentioned before that I would like to see DCU stick around here and not go somewhere like Baltimore. I have only been to one game so far, but I am open to going to more and who knows, maybe in a few years my son will be a big soccer fan.
