“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.”
How can people keep saying this BS like Ron Rivera just did? The "peaceful" George Floyd riots caused 1-2 billion dollars damage in the first two weeks.
How come they keep calling throwing gasoline bombs, burning buildings and police cars, looting, etc, etc, peaceful? We all saw it.
I honestly think someone needs to organize a boycott of the NFL, most importantly including not patronizing their sponsors.The only patronizing they will get from me is through wagering.That won't be much as I pretty much
only make season bets and on play-off games. I don't churn my account week to week.
Maybe we should start making a list of items to attempt to boycott.

What do you expect from the chicken-shit REDSKINS?
Run by idiots so stupid they took over a full season to come up with a team name.

GFM? Good idea.
How about a GFY for the NFL?

The legislation offering hefty tax incentives had already been languishing amid a series of controversies involving the team when an assistant coach called the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol “a dust-up.”
The remarks made by Jack Del Rio on Wednesday caused several key lawmakers to pull their support, and Democratic Virginia Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw said Thursday there were too many pending “issues” for the legislation to proceed.
really sickening!!

Think about this:
The left and Democrats, the very same groups that wanted cops DEAD and DEFUNDED not even six months earlier...laid a dead COP in honor in the Capitol Rotunda because he had a fucking stroke after he got home from work...all based on a FUCKING LIE for political gain.
This is the evil you've allowed to destroy this country.

“If they are and they want to talk about it, I’d talk about it with anybody,” Del Rio said. “No problem. At any time. But they’re not. I’m just expressing myself and I think we all as Americans have a right to express ourselves, especially if you’re being respectful. I’m being respectful.”

Unreal. Amazing, just , wish he coached my kids

It’s a free country but jobs and the responsibilities that go with them aren’t.

I agree. Del Rio should have manned up and quit. The only way to end this woke culture BS is to stand tall and put a spotlight on the lies.

That was one shitty-written piece, even for the AP. I found it hard to get past the first line, where Dead Floyd events were protests and Jan. 6 was an insurrection. But I struggled on to witness the inherent racism in assuming all the black players on the team were easily offended liberals who might have trouble being in the same room as Del Rio. Pure crap.

The irony is that if you get frustrated enough with the US you can’t even consider relocating to Canada. It’s even worse. Pretty soon people are going head to Texas to form a caravan into Mexico.
The only sane places left in the world are in Eastern Europe and I’m obviously not talking about Ukraine.

cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control.
"the tyranny of the nine-to-five day"
The NFL leadership has its hands all over this

his employer is a monopoly that the government is trying to control by dangling "hefty tax incentives" in front of. virginia is violating his freedom of speech over something that has absolutely nothing to do with the day to day tasks of his job.
