One of the sections of the article allows the commissioner to essentially force the forfeiture of a team if the owner "has been or is guilty of conduct detrimental to the welfare of the league or professional football" and a $500,000 fine is deemed "not adequate or sufficient."

This is laughable. Jones is easily the most powerful owner in the NFL, he owns the richest franchise in the league and there are a number of other owners who support him - Mark Davis of the Raiders and Stan Kroenke of the Rams to name two, since he engineered their moves to new cities.

There may be a couple of buffoons in the league office feeding Florio this story at Goodell's behest, but if any one man can be said to be the NFL, it's Jones. It gives me no pleasure to say this about Jones, as I am a 49ers fan, but it's a fact. Forcing Jones out of the NFL is about as likely as forcing numbered jerseys out of the NFL.

But it's cute watching Goodell trying to play the malicious leak game like the big boys.

It could happen. Jones made a mistake when he kneeled with the players. I feel no desire to support him and most of his natural allies will not back him up because of it. Never submit to the left.
