NFL commissioner Roger Goodell answered questions from the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Oversight and Reform during Wednesday’s hearing concerning its investigation into the Commanders.
One question that Goodell faced was asked if he will remove team owner Dan Snyder as a team owner. His response: “I don’t have the authority to remove him.”
This comes on the heels of reports surfacing last month that some NFL owners are “counting votes” to remove the Commanders owner. Goodell said in a press conference in May that he was “not aware” of the possibility. If a vote does occur, it would require 24 out of 32 owners to vote that Snyder, who has been the owner since 1999, be removed from his position.
