Former Commanders owner faces serious allegations

Magic Johnson has been interested in the three-time Super Bowl Champion for quite some time now. It all began when he joined Philadelphia 76ers? managing partner Josh Harris and other investors in placing a $6.05 billion bid to acquire the Commanders.
