I would expect there are at least a few who would not be in favor of Bezos owning a team. Enough to prevent the sale? I have no idea.

Currently, only one NFL owner has net worth over $25 billion (that is Rob Walton, primary owner of the Denver Broncos at between $113 & 138 billion. Bezos net worth is close to $250 billion.

Rob Walton's wealth significantly exceeds that of any other NFL owner, often reported as being more than the combined net worth of the next nine wealthiest owners. That would mean, Bezos' wealth would likely be more than the next 20 wealthhiest owners combined (excluding Walton).
