NFL owners changing stance on ousting Snyder

Multiple NFL team owners in recent days said that they believe "serious consideration may be given to attempting to oust" Commanders owner Daniel Snyder from the league’s ownership ranks, either by "convincing him to sell his franchise or by voting to remove him." Sentiments among owners regardingSnyder’s ownership of the Commanders have "shifted significantly" as they "await the findings of both a congressional investigation and a league-commissioned probe into allegations of misconduct by him and his team." While "no action is imminent," the comments reflect a "growing level of frustration among the owners over the controversies that have engulfed Snyder and the Commanders and the team’s financial performance under his ownership, including its inability to secure public financing for a new stadium." One owner said, “Some of us need to go to him and tell him that he needs to sell.” Another owner agreed that "many owners would be pleased to see Snyder sell voluntarily" (WASHINGTON POST, 9/25).
