The rules are clear , the commissioner doesn’t have the power to kick an owner out and forced a sale

One viewer, Kevin, asked us to Verify if there were any NFL bylaws that would cause Snyder to forfeit ownership of the team.
Let's take a look.

QUESTION:
Kevin asked us to Verify: "Can Dan Snyder lose his team based on NFL bylaws?"

ANSWER: Yes, under specific circumstances.

The NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, can propose firing any owner, shareholder or partner for wrongful conduct and would take that complaint to the league's Executive Committee.

He would need three-fourths of the committee to vote yes to terminate the owner. That same committee would also need three-fourths of members to vote on who the next owner would be.



SOURCES:
National Football League
NFL Constitution & Bylaws
PROCESS:
We went right to the source for this one.
The NFL's website outlines league operations and team guidelines. Under the governance section, we found this statement:
"Any change in game rules, league policy or club ownership or modification to the game must be approved by at least three-fourths of the executive committee."
Our second source is the NFL's own constitution and bylaws.
Verify researchers found a copy of the bylaws on Penn State Law's website. Article 8 states the NFL Commissioner can suspend, fine, or cancel a contract with any owner, shareholder, or partner "who has been or is guilty of conduct detrimental to the welfare of the League or professional football."
Article 3 addresses "Transfer of Membership and Termination." According to the bylaws, the commissioner can propose a transfer of membership, but that has to be approved by three-fourths of the league's Executive Committee.
The same guideline applies for reassigning a playing field and player contracts after a member is terminated -- those changes also require three-fourths of the voting committee.

Heads-up to all of my fellow posters. You're still on the Titanic and it's still heading towards the iceberg. The band is still playing--"Oh, You Beautiful Doll,” and has yet to get to “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” reportedly the last song before the crash. Hang tight there's much more to come.

If Dan is removed you can bet your ass that Dan will have this tied up courts for a while. Should they vote to remove him he should take his money and walk away. He never would have the kind of money he has now without being an owner.

Dan may be forced to sell now. If he waits this out and he loses, he is forced to sell at whatever value the league deems necessary for the buyer they vote in. I'm sure Dan can negotiate himself a better deal getting out early. We'll see.

I could be wrong here but this looks like a dark tunnel with Dan staring at a bright light in the distance coming his way.

Wonder what affect this has on the name change

Also:

Why would ST’s family want to participate in this “honoring,” when it was handled as badly as it has been.

Being honored by a fucking asshole is not really an honor.

Hopefully it will move CONVICTS into first place by a slight edge.

Stingley with our 1st and grab Tua with our 2nd? The rumor was Miami was asking for a 2nd. I like Tua more than any QB we could get in the 2nd round of this year's draft. Big risk though.
