It is no secret that Matthew McConaughey is probably the most prominent celebrity fan of the Washington Commanders. He has been seen at Washington games many times over the years, and it is known that he is friendly with the current owner Daniel Snyder. Now, McConaughey may have interesting new plans to become something more than a fan.

Matthew McConaughey to Buy the Washington Commanders

It seems that now, Matthew McConaughey may be aiming to become Washington’s next owner. According to a recent news report, the actor will be joining the team of Jay-Z and Jeff Bezos in their planned bid to purchase the Washington Commanders. It was also reported that while McConaughey was exploring the possibility of joining a group to place a bid for the team, it was not necessarily with Bezos & Jay-Z’s bid.

In recent weeks the Commanders have confirmed a report that they were looking at potential transactions, including ones focused on selling the franchise to new owners. Sports journalists have also reported that the NFL wanted to fast-track the sale of the Washington Commanders and believed the entire thing could be wrapped up in about six months. It is also believed that the owners will meet in March to finalize the deal.

NBA superstar Kevin Durant, who is also known to be a Washington Commanders fan, has mentioned that he would like to also be included in the possible bid of Jeff Bezos and Jay-Z. Still, it is unclear who, if, and when would go ahead and purchase the team.

Memorable Moments, Victories, and Displays of Sportsmanship Were the Highlights of Swimming During the Tokyo Olympics

Below are four of the most memorable moments that took place during the swimming event of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Ariarne Titmus Winning the 400m Freestyle Event

The 400m freestyle duel between Katie Ledecky and Ariarne Titmus was one of the most hyped-up and anticipated clashes of the whole Olympics, and it did not disappoint. The American got an early lead, but Titmus, also known as The Terminator, overtook her at the 150m mark. The Australian stayed a stroke ahead until the wall and got the gold, silencing all who doubted her. This year was one of Australia’s greatest Olympic performances in swimming, with 21 medals, nine of which were gold.

Katie Ledecky Winning the First-Ever 1500m Freestyle for Women

While Katie Ledecky lost the 200m and 400m freestyle events to Ariarne Titmus, the American left Japan as the distance swimming queen. An hour after finishing fifth in the 200m, Ledecky won the women’s 1500m Olympic gold medal. This was the first-ever 1500m freestyle for women, and Katie was the pre-race favorite due to being the reigning world champion and record holder. Despite that, she did not go easy on her competitors and cried tears of joy as she got her sixth Olympic gold medal. Later on, Ledecky beat Titmus and got a seventh gold medal, making her the most decorated female Olympic swimmer of all time.

Caeleb Dressel Setting the 100m Fly World Record

The pressure was real for Caeleb Dressel before the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The American public was looking to their Florida man to prove himself as the new Michael Phelps and collect many gold medals for the US. So, when Dressel ended the 100m butterfly event with a new world record, doubts and comparisons were forgotten, and America got its new champion. Dressel stated in an interview that even he did not expect he would be that fast.

Ahmed Hafnaoui of Tunisia Winning Gold In 400m Freestyle

Ahmed Hafnaoui’s goal for Tokyo 2020 might have been to simply gain experience and learn what it takes to win a medal for the Paris 2024 Games, but he surprised both himself and the spectators when he won the men’s 400m freestyle final. His unexpected victory was probably the greatest shock during the swimming events, yet no one was as surprised as Hafnaoui. The Tunisian won his nation’s first gold medal in this event and its fifth Olympic gold ever.
