Antitrust rules do not protect anything he has done. If you want to get rid of those rules you would be ending sports as we know it.

There are also crimes for destroying evidence, blackmailing threatening witnesses etc. Seems like the government can not prove a crime and wants to by pass that little technicality and jump right to sentencing phase.

I think bad owners should be WAY easier to get rid of. Look at how bad it has to get and he STILL might get away with it.
It’s not like we’re talking about a bad actor. We’re talking about one of the worst actors imaginable who has abused his power while capitalizing off of billions in public money. If not for this, then who holds him accountable? To date, the answer is nobody.

Not disagreeing on not pumping public funds into his team or NFL. My disagreement is the ability to step in and interfere with how the NFL runs their business. IF they have no problem with Snyder as an owner the fans have the option of not being entertained by his team.
