Earlier this week, my colleague Bonchie shared the news on the tale of Jack Del Rio, a defensive assistant coach for the NFL’s Washington Redskins Commanders football team getting excoriated in the media and among the elite sports pundit class for several remarks he made recently about both the January 6 Capitol riot and the BLM riots of two summers back. The controversy started when Del Rio recently commented on a post about the January 6th committee, wondering why the same emphasis isn’t put on the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 that killed dozens of people and led to billions of dollars in damage.

My former Redskins have been ruined by a brain-dead owner.
Jack Kent Cooke and Coach Gibbs would NEVER have allowed a once-proud team (reminiscent of its former Mascot) to fall into the abyss.
Sadness abounds.

How dare Jack call a Reichstag Fire fed-instigated and abetted, felony-murder panty raid a "dust up."

The man tells the truth, forced to take back his truthful statement and is fined for speaking the truth. I’d tell them to get lost.

Del Rio should tell them what they can do with their fine and resign. Take early retirement, start a sports podcast, do anything other than give these leftists the satisfaction of crushing one more person.

Step one drop the Commanders name Washington DC and go back to the Redskins and I might even pay attention to them. And while they are at it Cleveland get a clue and dump the Guardians name and return to the Indians. Time to put this Woke BS in the trash bin of history.

He's fined not for telling the truth, but for having an opinion. That's a big deal.

So anyone who dares to talk about all the death and destruction wrought by Black Lives Matter in the summer or 2020 has to be made to shut up because the subject is "untouchable"?
So talk about over 500 riots with arson and looting, over 20 murders, close to $2 BILLION dollars of damage, over 150 federal buildings damaged, over 2,000 law enforcement officers assaulted, all encouraged by the media and socialist politicians us OFF LIMITS FOR DISCUSSION?
Coach Del Rio, thank you for speaking the TRUTH.
The media only wants to talk about January 6th and gay pride month and grooming of children being ok???

The NFL is dead to me and this is just an example of why. Fans do not matter, players do not matter, money alone is the driving force. Enjoy your season.

Given his subsequent apology, I suspect he was threatened with more than just a fine. Like, being blacklisted as a coach.

I haven’t watched the NFL in years and don’t plan to in the future. It’s not just the wokeness stuff...the relentless commercials have made the games unwatchable. I guess others use the constant breaks to grab a beer or hit the bathroom but they have lost me forever. BTW, “Commanders” is a stupid name.

This behavior reminds me more of ‘that bunch’ we fought in WWII than socialism. What next? Jackbooted thugs in uniform coming after us in our homes for speaking out, for giving our opinions? Speaking of power-hungry thugs, today’s Democrat Party and their thuggish ‘enforcers’ have gone bats—t crazy, and our country is in greater danger than ever before because of them.

He should walk away...and not look back...he said what hundreds of thousands feel...and the fake news just doesn't like it....if they can't control the narrative then they throw a hissy fit....the coach spoke the truth and no amount of chatter on the media pages can change that...

They aren’t “commanding” anything but ridicule and scorn. Losers!

The leftist weenies are making inroads into sports, making them harder to watch. I'm sure it doesn't help the locker room atmosphere either.
