If they can't force Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder out, what makes you think they can for Mike Brown? Mikey doesn't rock the boat like those 2.

 Ineptness is not a valid enough of a reason to force an owner out.

If MB pulled a Donald Sterling then the NFL would be able to force him to  even sell the team.  Otherwise we know the answer, the NFL had no problem with him in the awful 1990's.  Even if he was forced to step down he'd just turn it over to his family to operate with him a shadow owner. 

What motivation does the NFL have anyway?  Its a parity league, the standard normal curve for such a setup is one or two teams on the far left, the terrible losers, and one or two teams on the far right, the  awesome winners, with everybody else fighting around the middle.  So the Bengals frequently are on the far left?  Some team(s) will always be there.
