he made some comments about Magic and the others too. called them " a bunch of baskeball guys". Owners just need to put up the money, and HIRE football guys. the late Jack Kent Cooke built the LA forum (lakers old stadium) long before owning the redskins. so he had a basketball background. Won 3 SB's. Wonder what Ben Johnson said about the Seattle job when turning them down.
yup but they STILL gonna forgive that white man

There's a lot of drama in the air when it comes to Ben Johnson, the
Washington Commanders and the interview that went down between the two.
Johnson, who remains in Detroit as the
Lions' offensive coordinator, was turned off by Commanders ownership, considering them as "basketball guys" who are perhaps too confident in their football opinions,
according to ESPN. In turn, the same report stated that Johnson didn't do well in the interview.
Along with managing partner Josh Harris, the Commanders' relatively new ownership includes
NBA Hall of Fame point guard Magic Johnson, who in addition to winning five titles with the Lakers during his playing days has won
MLB, WNBA and MLS titles as an owner.
