Colts' Jim Irsay: 'I Believe There Is Merit' to Remove Dan Snyder as Commanders Owner

The Washington Commanders owner could be nearing the end of his time.

Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, believes there is merit to removing him as owner.

There are at least 24 owners around the league who are willing to vote out the head coach.

Jim Irsay says he believes “potentially” there are 24 votes to remove Dan Snyder. “We’re not gonna vote today.”

Irsay said that you have to protect the game. This is not what we are about.

Jim Irsay is holding court with reporters going on 10 minutes, talking about why Dan Snyder should be forced to sell his team. I’ve been to a lot of owners meetings and this is unprecedented to see one speak out so forcefully against another pic.twitter.com/GTHVOMsubH

The Commanders stated that the team will not be sold.

Irsay responded to the report from Don Van Natta Jr., who said that the owner of the Indianapolis Colts believed he had dug up enough dirt to blow up a number of powerful figures in the National Football League.

1) WOW. 2) Irsay is a very influential owner among his peers, so do not overlook that.

3) Yes, he has a past. We know. Everyone knows. Which is probably why he doesn't give a damn. https://t.co/RaQ53FNgI1

According to the report, the owner said that "all the owners hate each other."

A veteran owner disagreed in the report. The owners don't like Dan.

Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, was one of the figures that was investigated by the man.

He told reporters that he didn't think that would be a topic of discussion. It is more of a media thing. I don't think that's going to be a highlight.

There have been conflicting reports about where Jones stands with the owner of the team. Jones recently told people that he might not be able to protect him anymore.

A senior executive close to Jones said that "Snyder's already lost Jerry."

The owners of the team have denied that they were investigated.

The House Reform and Oversight Committee is investigating the organization's alleged history of sexual harassment, workplace toxicity, and potential financial improprieties.

The Washington organization was fined $10 million by the National Football League for their workplace culture.

The Commanders have been a source of turmoil and bad publicity for the league, and it appears there is a growing push to have them removed. It's telling that Irsay was willing to speak out.
