A story that was published on Super Bowl Sunday Splash! stated that Tom Brady's attempt to purchase a piece of the Raiders is getting closer and closer to being cleared for approval. What now? It is not.
According to Mark Maske of the Washington Post, the owners of the National Football League are not anticipated to vote on Brady's candidacy during the annual meetings that will take place the following week, "barring a last-minute change."
In excess of a year ago, the transaction was finalized. In the beginning, the endeavor was unsuccessful because the National Football League (NFL) had a rule that barred owners from granting shares to employees.
Mark Davis, the owner of the Raiders, has expressed his opposition to the change. It is believed that he planned to use Brady's employment as a means of partially consummating the sale.
Since that time, it has been abundantly evident that Davis had consented to sell approximately ten percent of the team at a considerably reduced price. That is not something that the other owners are happy about because it has a tendency to lower the value of their equity as well.
There is also the possibility that Brady will make his debut with Fox as the network's primary analyst for NFL games, which is about to take place. Brady, who will naturally have a rooting interest for the Raiders — and against any club with which they are competing
will have a natural interest in rooting against any team that they are engaged in competition with. It would be reasonable for the coaches of select teams to refrain from allowing him to participate in production meetings and/or practices.
On the other hand, it is Tom Brady. He has a tendency to get what he asks for. With the exception of situations in which it might be related to the air pressure of particular footballs or the location of particular mobile phones.
