Owners would initiate vote to remove Snyder if Commanders not sold
NFL owners would move toward a vote to remove Daniel Snyder from ownership of the Washington Commanders if he doesn't sell the franchise, sources told the Washington Post's Mark Maske, Nicki Jhabvala, and Liz Clarke. Snyder demanded that the NFL and other franchise owners indemnify him against future legal liability and costs if he sells the team, per the Washington Post. The 58-year-old reportedly said he'd sue the league if his requests aren't fulfilled.Maske, Jhabvala, and Clarke are reliable reporters.Franchise owners had called Snyder's demands "ridiculous" and "absurd," according to the Washington Post. They believe any vote to remove Snyder would survive a legal challenge. Three-quarters of franchise owners would need to support a potential vote for Snyder to be removed as the Commanders' owner.
Snyder reportedly requested that the league keep the findings of attorney Mary Jo White's ongoing investigation into alleged workplace misconduct and sexual harassment confidential. The NFL said the findings will be released publicly. Federal authorities in the Eastern District of Virginia are also investigating the Commanders for potential financial improprieties.
The last paragraph is the sticking point in my opinion. Snyder does NOT want the results of any investigation into him to be released, period.
Dan Snyder is the worst person in the NFL.
That one article references the possibility of Jerry Jones negotiating aAdd possible bank fraud to the list https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...d-lifestyle-took-improper-loan-their-approval
The article mentions the investigation being led by a team of FBI and IRS agents so I assume there is some tax fraud going on as well. And it sounds like Goodell knew and didn't investigate.
In an ironic twist, the Post article points out that none other than Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is trying to broker a deal that would result in Snyder selling his team and moving on. Not really surprising considering Jones' status as a leading owner and also his past relationship with Skipper Dan. But ironic in the fact that us Commanders fans need to rely upon the Jerrah to lead us out of this mess and into the promised land...Owners would initiate vote to remove Snyder if Commanders not sold

I still get the sense that the Skipper is gonna sell and all of this is just so much posturing for more $$, more concessions, etc. and also just because he's a difficult a-hole. There is so much local reporting around DC that points to the sale, such as Danny's lack of involvement with the team and even Jason Wright directly referencing the sale moving forward at the Eric Bienemy press conference -- that is not always part of national reporting on the story. That said, the clock is ticking here until the owners meeting. If there is no firm agreement to sell by then, I think the owners are gonna need to rip the band aid off and vote to remove him. I totally get it that they want to avoid trouble -- they don't want a lawsuit, or dirt coming out, etc. etc. But at a certain point, you just have to rip that band aid off; otherwise, you are always gonna be Danny's b--
Gonna be an interesting month ahead...
