Josh Harris wanted Washington DC’s football team back where he thought it belonged. And all it took was a few billion dollars.
Harris, 60, has emerged as one of the most influential owners in the sports world. He owns majority stakes in teams across the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League and the English Premier League.
