From the Editorial Board: The NFL tolerated the egregious actions of Washington Commanders’ owner Dan Snyder for far too long.
Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder poses for photos during an event to unveil the NFL football team's new identity, on Feb. 2, 2022, in Landover, Maryland. Snyder has agreed to sell the team for a record $6 billion to a group led by Josh Harris.
Americans have many reasons to view the NFL with disdain. There’s the league’s reluctance to deal with the ravages of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, its long history of looking the other way when players have abused women, and its indefensible treatment of Colin Kaepernick, essentially blacklisted simply for expressing himself through protest.The league tolerated Snyder for far too long.
Snyder also came under fire for his longtime refusal to drop the offensive nickname Redskins, considered a slur against Native Americans. He finally relented in 2020 after team sponsors threatened to take their business elsewhere. Forced removals of owners in major sports leagues should be looked to only as a last resort, but the step should nonetheless be in the toolbox. There’s nothing wrong with team owners being brash, bombastic or even a bit loopy . But when they impose a toxic workplace culture on employees or violate basic norms of human decency, it’s right to hold them accountable.In 2014, the NBA banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life after he was recorded making racist remarks.
