OT: Dan Snyder being forced to sell?

[JayNM]

I was browsing some football news and this is the story of the day at PFT.

Dan Snyder some time ago said that he had dirt on everybody (citation needed)

Well, today reports of Jim Irsay telling Dan to be removed were on and so is the answer by Snyder, who *crosses finger* might decide to burn all bridges while going down (he won't)

We got some Billionaire drama!

Also Washington deserves a decent team man. The Redskins/Commanders NEVER ONCE been a decent franchise, for as long as Ive followed the NFL. Some years they were a marginal playoff, but dont remember them contending. My biggest memory of them was giving Albert Haynesworth 100M and then RG3, when they were actually a bit fun... That's just sad

Irsay > Snyder. I mean, that says it all. Two putrid humans fighting it out in public.

No kidding. Where does Jim "8 Ball" Irsay get the sack to pass judgment on another owner?

I’ve heard illegal drugs can give you unfounded confidence and reduce your ability to realize your own faults.

One of Dan Snyder's private investigators has discovered there's a slight chance that Jim Irsay may have once ingested illegal substances

That's not true. You can trust me because I'm never wrong - and I'll kick anyone's ass who disagrees.

Exactly. Snyder is a scumbag who should be forced out but Irsay sure as hell shouldn't be saying a damn thing about it.

Probably exactly why Fraudger chose him to float the balloon before the formal meetings.
Not really much of a stretch to think Goofdell would use one of his well known stooges, the one nobody takes seriously, to get it out in the open to show congress there's some consideration of the matter. Not too much mind you, just enough to have Jeff Pash shut down the discussion as soon as they got behind closed doors so no one said anything that could be used against all of them down the line when Snyder sues. Fraudger is no steward of the game but he does his job when it comes to shielding the rich old dudes from consequence. It's not called Big Shield at 345 Park Ave for nothing

Snyder will not go quietly. Hopefully he takes down The comish within him.

Hopefully this leads to mutually assured destruction

Goodell isn't going anywhere. The owners are going to extend his contract. Snyder, on the other hand, is going to get the Donald Sterling treatment...

Based on this report, we know at least one of the owners Dan Snyder was digging up dirt on .. irsay better keep an open eye out for any skullduggery initiated by Snidley Whiplash Dan Snyder

I just don't see Snyder being forced to sell the team, and certainly not anytime soon. First of all, I think it would be a struggle to get 24 votes, but let's put that aside and assume they do vote him out. Despite what the ownership agreement says, the League may very well be on shaky legal grounds and if Snyder wanted to, he could stall for years in court. Then there would be the matter that even if he lost and had to sell, what would prevent him from "selling" to his own children?
