    Well…He’s not technically wrong.

    And to be clear I’m not talking about the casual fan. I’m talking about fanatics. You all know who I mean. The ones that live and breathe their chosen team. It’s like 70% of their personality.

    Yikes.

    The Washington Commanders have suspended a team vice president for calling Commanders fans “mouth breathers” and “high school educated alcoholics.” He also labeled black players as “homophobic” and called NFL players “dumb as hell” in a video posted to social media Wednesday.

    The article OP posted is really light on details.

    Here is a better source: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41122997/commanders-suspend-vp-comments-players-jones-goodell

    He told the undercover reporter that, “over 50% of our roster is white religious, and God says, ‘F— the gays.’ Their interpretation. I don’t buy any of that. Another big chunk is low-income African Americans that comes from a community that is inherently very homophobic.”

    “It’s not done out of the goodness of their heart,” he said. “It’s done because George Floyd changed the game … It’s to make as much money as possible. The NFL cares about the bottom line, like any corporation, above all else.”

    Enteen said because the league makes so much money, “they can faux prioritize DEI for the sake of good publicity.”
