I'm sure that is applied fairly by the NFL across the board and is in no way agenda driven.
What'd he say? I remember seeing it, but can't recall what it was.... something offensive to the sassy gang?
He failed to say the dust up in dc was worse than 9/11.
Compared the capital protest to the george floyd protest. Apparently one was peaceful that the NFL agrees with and the other was an attempt to overthrow the government.

Asked Wednesday about a social media post he made earlier in the week, Del Rio downplayed the deadly insurrection and questioned why the protests in the summer of 2020 after Floyd's death were not receiving the same scrutiny. Del Rio called the Jan. 6, 2021, riot "a dust-up at the Capitol," which he later apologized for.
"He understands the distinction between the events of that dark day and peaceful protests, which are a hallmark of our democracy," Rivera said in the statement, adding that Del Rio had a constitutional right to voice his opinion. "Words have consequences and his words hurt a lot of people in our community. I want to make it clear that our organization will not tolerate any equivalency between those who demanded justice in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the actions of those on Jan. 6 who sought to topple our government."
Hell, that's even dumber than I thought... people have lost their minds. Dude said nothing wrong whatsoever.
Had he said it while kneeling, he would have gotten a pass.
Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.
Since when does "peaceful" describe billions in property damage, thousands injured and dozens murdered?

In the end, he loved Big Brother.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

C'mon man!
I know it is easy to say, but I would quit. He's just going to get fired in a few years anyway. Because there are 2 types of coaches. Those that have been fired and those that are about to be fired.

On a positive note I have always hated the Redskins, this makes that even easier!

What I would have said would have been one word, when asked the question: No! Then if the media asked to elaborate I would have said, "If I explain my answer I would massacred by you guys. They say you have free speech but again if I explain my answer, I will be treated as if I do not have free speech. I am done answering any type of political questions."
Can't say anything against St.Floyd.
But this is not a free speech issue.

Correct. This has nothing to do with the first amendment.boboguitar said:How were his first amendment rights violated?Highway6 said:

He is clearly more dangerous than anything this country has ever seen because he must be all about that MAGA.
lol, the "peaceful protests" had more dead people than the "deadly insurrection".

reason number eleventy billion why I gave up on pro sports long ago

leave the BS politics to the politicians

The NFL, NBA, MLB, etc have been off my lists for decades. The are dishonest, corrupt and do not fit my personal values. I do not watch any professional sports except golf and that may change in the near future. The PGA are a bunch of bureaucrats that like to sniff jock straps.
Oh, by the way the BLM movement is a fraud and George Floyd was a criminal. Sure the cop made a mistake but it was not murder. His life is gone.

why does anyone watch the nfl anymore. they all suck.
I was a life-long Cowboys fan but my interest waned as I got older. When all of the social justice warrior kneeling crap started I lost all interest in the NFL and consequently I haven't watched a game in years. I keep wondering if I will ever care about the NFL again. Stories like this destroy any impulse I may possibly have of giving one flying red rat's rump about them.
All of the smash and grab, looters and gang-banging community members were hurt by his comments.
And as with all of these incidents he is a dumbarse for apologizing in any way. He will be fired before year-end either way. Tell them to **** off and have some dignity. He should have plenty of money in the bank.

I'm not sure which of those two bolded words is more unintentionally humorous. Calling a riot where the only one killed was a protester "deadly" or calling that mostly cosplay event an "insurrection."

His words didn't hurt anybody. They pissed off some anti-American ****** bags.

Please explain to me how someone makes a harmless statement and is punished by his employer. Yes, I know he wasn't punished by the government but he was made an example.Stive said:Highway6 said:

That is absolutely disgusting. Apparently the coach thinks we live in communist country where we can't express our opinions. And shame on the defensive coordinator for backing down and apologizing. This is truly disgusting.
Not to mention he was correct and what he said. I would've rather lost my job then bow down to that bull*****
