They are talking about it. I guess that's the best we can expect from the owners of the football teams. They have been an embarrassment to the league for a long time. The league commissioner frequently speaks of protecting the shield, while Daniel Snyder defecates on it. The owner of the Washington Commanders is currently not the face of the franchise at the moment, while serving his suspension that isn't a suspension in the wake of an NFL investigation that revealed the organization was toxic. One of the reasons the owners are against him is the fact that he got off with a $10 million fine and no official discipline. According to USA Today's Jarrett Bell, the owners are counting votes, and it would take 24 votes to oust the team's owner. If the NFL had asked for her written recommendation, it would have called for the removal of the team owner. Why wouldn't the owners be upset? Since he purchased the franchise in 1999, the teams he has put together have been mediocre. The only franchise quarterback that they have had in that span, his knee crumbled on the worst playing surface in the league, and it was in the entire Washington Metropolitan Area. When it comes to inappropriate and despicable behavior, the squad is one of the best to ever lack basic morality. The New York Times, The Washington Post, and others have reported in the last four years that the organization fostered an atmosphere that led to sexual harrassment. Cheerleaders from Washington were on a Costa Rica trip that was at best dangerously close to sex traffickers, as well as being asked to escort some of the men for the night on an island. After the fine for having a toxic workplace, Jon sent an email to his team that checked all the ist and phobia boxes. The Commanders are being investigated by the state of Virginia, the District of Columbia, and the United States Congress.
The House Oversight Committee has been looking into the Commanders since October of 2021. The Commanders had two sets of books to skirt its revenue sharing responsibilities and another woman testified before congress about being sexually harrassed by the Commanders, this time by him.
One of the first major acts of Roger Goodell was the year-long suspension of Jones, because of everything that surrounded him. He had been arrested four times in 14 months, and in the letter that was written to Jones, he said that the former defensive back's conduct had hurt the reputation of the league and the club.
The NFL had enough of Jones and he was free at that point. I don't agree with that punishment, but I understand the league's position better now. It's not a good look for national and local news outlets to report on a player in handcuffs.
It's difficult to punish your boss if you don't have the same latitude with team owners. It is clear that some members of that group are tired of the embarrassment of that franchise and shield.
It's a big step to force out the man. Eddie DeBartolo Jr., who pleaded guilty to a felony nearly 30 years ago, agreed to leave. This is the same place as Donald Sterling, who refused to change his team's name until the people with the naming rights of the stadium told him to do so. Even though they are anonymous, owners will talk to reporters about how upset they are with one of their own. It could be serious if they don't talk to the media. The franchise that had people pass out funeral programs outside of Exxon Stations for its death more than a decade ago can finally take a meaningful step in the right direction now that they are tired of Snyder making them look bad.
