Colts owner Jim Irsay believes 'there's merit to remove' Daniel Snyder as Commanders owner

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said on Tuesday that he believes "there's merit to remove" Daniel Snyder as owner of the Washington Commanders.
Irsay, who spoke to reporters at the NFL's Fall League Meeting in New York, is the first owner to publicly state this position. Snyder and the franchise he's owned since 1999 are currently the subject of separate ongoing investigations by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform and former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White, who is conducting a new review on behalf of the NFL, concerning allegations of workplace misconduct.*

The removal of an owner requires a three-fourths vote from ownership (24 out of 32 votes). Irsay was asked if he thought there would be 24 votes to remove Snyder, who was not in attendance at the meeting, as Washington's owner.

*The separate investigations come on the heels of the league's initial independent investigation by attorney Beth Wilkinson's firm, which found Washington's workplace culture to be toxic. Snyder and the team were fined $10 million, and the league said he turned day-to-day operations over to wife Tanya, but no written report of Wilkinson's findings was released.
