“Stop tweeting and fire somebody”: Commanders fans demand Magic Johnson to flex $242 million stake after shambolic loss

Magic Johnson’s Washington Commanders got blown out by the Dallas Cowboys, 45-10, in their Thanksgiving game on Thursday. And the team’s fans did not take it sitting down, urging the NBA legend on social media to do something about it.

Johnson is part-owner of the Commanders after putting in a $242 million investment in the National Football Conference East-playing team.

He has been very active in the various activities of the squad, including taking to social media to report on its performances.

The five-time NBA champion took X (formerly Twitter) to report on the Commanders’ blowout loss, and fans did not waste time making their thoughts known, including urging Magic Johnson to lead a house cleaning.

Here are some of they had to say:

@KevieShea wrote: The Commander coaching staff continues to set up the offense for failure rather than success and traded away their defensive base. This ongoing loosing for the draft strategy looks intentional and will result in a zero fan base. Fire all the coaches.

With the loss, the Commanders dropped to 4-8 for the season. It was also their third consecutive defeat.

Magic Johnson says owning the Knicks is something he could consider

Magic Johnson is a stakeholder in a number of sports teams in North America right now but interestingly, none of them are in the NBA, where he established his standing as a legend.

He said it is more of a choice not to be involved at the moment with an NBA team. But the five-time NBA champion shared that he could reconsider his position on it if it involved the New York Knicks.

Magic Johnson told the Associated Press in an interview that the Knicks’ deep basketball history as well as the team’s passionate and knowledgeable fan base make the prospect of ownership interesting.

He said:

"I think it would be intriguing. The only team I would actually probably think about is the New York Knicks."

Magic Johnson used to be a part-owner of the Lakers, the team he led to great heights in the 1980s, but decided to sell his stake in 2010.
