The Colts’ owner is the first person involved with the NFL to show any semblance of backbone against Dan Snyder.
Take your pick: This infighting among NFL owners over the potential sale of the Commanders can be plain old good gossip, it can be wholly depressing or it can be some combination of the two, depending on how much you care that a person accused of myriad crimes, as well as good old-fashioned racism and misogyny, still gets to keep his football team while simultaneously running the on-field product into the ground.
But on Tuesday, as the league’s meetings kicked off, there is one thing we can’t argue much: The fact that Colts owner Jim Irsay came right out and said that Daniel Snyder should be removed as the owner of the Commanders was about the only action reminiscent of having a backbone that we’ve seen since this entire charade started.
