The Commanders have “suspended the employee pending an internal investigation.”
The comments are incendiary as they call out the league for ‘performative’ social justice initiatives, claiming players and owners are racist and/or homophobic. He cites their repeated head trauma as well as their socio-economic backgrounds as potential causes.
Enteen also makes it clear that the NFL has no real social agenda in his mind, and is simply going through the motions for the purposes of it’s bottom line.
The video was recorded by an undercover reporter who works for the O’Keefe Media Group, owned by far right activist James O’Keefe who has had his hand in numerous attempts to catch mainstream media and progressive groups off guard with deceptively edited videos.
O’Keefe is a lifelong troll with a history of manipulating situations, facts, people, and media to create narratives that serve an extreme agenda. His earliest “work” was an attempt to ban Lucky Charms from Rutgers University Dining Hall where he attended undergrad, due to the Leprechaun mascot being a stereotype. It was an early incident of his attempts to force people and institutions into binds surrounding social and political progress.
