Snyder (the absolute worst owner in all of sports) to stay on a owner

If it is the case that most teams do this, the owners will be upset that Snyder let slip the secret, but they wouldn't be willing to kick him out the league. They would never set a precedent for removal that they're all guilty of. It's the entire reason the Wilkinson report was squashed.

I think they would be mad the amount of attention he is attracting, rather than a few hundred thousand here or there. The leagues preferrential status is valuable to them and along side the Ross tanking allegations there is a real risk of federal and local investigations of the whole circus, not just the clown car.

Right, that's exactly the problem. Once again, Snyder's shenanigans are causing major headaches for the other owners. But they can't just get rid of him because they hate him or because he's a pain in the ass, they need to find a reason that can't also be used against them. And if many of them have also cheated Community Chest, then he gets another get-out-of-jail free card.
