NEW YORK -- For the first time, an NFL owner publicly has called for serious consideration to remove Washington's Dan Snyder from NFL ownership.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay held an explosive interview scrum at the fall meetings Tuesday and called Snyder's missteps as owner, particularly with workplace misconduct, "gravely concerning."
"I believe there is merit to removing him as owner of the [Commanders]," Irsay said from the hotel lobby of the Conrad New York Downtown. "There's consideration that he should be removed."
The Mary Jo White investigations into Washington's years of alleged workplace misconduct and financial improprieties under Snyder are at the root of the issue, said Irsay, who stressed that the league "potentially" could have a majority vote from owners to unseat Snyder.
