Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay may not be pleased with how his team is performing.
Yet while they have a 3-2-1 record, they are in first place in the AFC South after six weeks.
However, he has other concerns, one of them being fellow NFL team owner Dan Snyder.
The Washington Commanders owner is in the news by declaring that the league and its owners cannot oust him.
If they do, he claimed to have enough controversy compiled against fellow owners and even Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Irsay would want nothing to do with Snyder, as shared by ESPN Senior Writer Seth Wickersham.
Jim Irsay says there is “merit to remove” Snyder as an owner.

Wickersham tweeted, “Jim Irsay says there is ‘merit to remove’ Snyder as an owner.”
He added, “He says it’s the road owners need to go down, likely after the Mary Jo White investigation concludes.”
Snyder has been on the hot seat for two controversies.
First, the unsafe practices in their workplace have reached Congress, and Snyder is defiant in testifying to clear the franchise of the allegations.
Likewise, the Commanders were also identified to keep two sets of accounting books to hide revenue from the league.
How Can The League Oust Snyder
Team owners can put the matter into a vote, but will need 24 votes in favor of Snyder’s removal.
As NFL Network national insider Ian Rapoport mentioned before, those who would like him out might not have enough votes.
Some owners might be passive in letting him go as long as he is not destroying their team’s reputation.
Likewise, it remains to be seen if Snyder does have incriminating information against the other owners or if he is bluffing his way out.
The Commanders are sixth in Forbes’ valuation among NFL teams, with a $5.6 billion net worth as of August 2022.
Therefore, the new owner must put up a lot of financial capital if Snyder is voted out.
