WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A Washington Commanders employee is suspended and an internal investigation is underway after he was recorded making derogatory comments about NFL players, fans and leadership.
O’Keefe Media Group posted a video of one of their reporters on an undercover date with vice president of content Rael Enteen. The disparaging remarks were made during two separate “dates” that, according to the Associated Press, happened in D.C. in June.
Enteen called the NFL’s social justice efforts “performative.”
“It’s not done out of the goodness of their heart and morality. It’s done because George Floyd changed the game,” he said on one occasion.
“The social justice efforts are a performance for the sake of public perception and not because they want to actually push progress,” he later remarked.
Enteen also called players and fans dumb.
“Most of the fans, I would say, are high-school-educated alcoholics…mouth breathers,” he said on one occasion with the journalist.
As VP of content, Enteen told the woman that he oversees and produces a range of materials for the team, from memes on TikTok to documentary-style shows.
In a statement, the Commanders said, “The language used in the video runs counter to our values at the Commanders organization. We have suspended the employee pending an internal investigation and will reserve further comment at this time.”
