The apple doesn’t fall far from the franchise tree, so should we be surprised that Washington Commanders’ defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio called the January 6th storming of the Capitol and attempted coup just a “dust up?”
Washington has been under scrutiny for its alleged toxic workplace environment and the handling of sexual harassment claims towards women and cheerleaders. Moreover, it has also alleged that the Commanders forced employees to sign non-disclosure deals to keep secret what is really endured throughout their facility.
Del Rio’s comments are a disgrace to the game of football and the brotherhood shared among players and coaches, and while some in the league have openly denounced what he said, it’s important to note that quietly many coaches and excutives in the NFL agree with them.
Unfortunately, to Jack Del Rio based on his controversial comments and social media likes and many others in NFL, African American players (who represent nearly 60 percent of the league) are viewed as just talent and not human beings.
The fake apology from a delusional Jack came only after backlash from the public. Too late, he already told us how he really feels.
The Washington Commanders should fire Jack Del Rio immediately. The $100,000 fine imposed is not enough. The rhetorical question here is will the Commanders, who are the most dysfunctional franchise within the NFL, actually pull the trigger?
