Commanders fire employee after undercover video showed him disparaging players and fans
The Washington Commanders say they have fired an employee after he was shown making derogatory comments about players and fans in undercover video posted on social media
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Commanders said they have fired an employee after he was shown making derogatory comments about players and fans in undercover video posted on social media.
A team spokesperson said Thursday that vice president of content Rael Enteen had been terminated. Enteen was initially suspended pending an internal investigation after he said on video posted by O'Keefe Media Group that some players were dumb and homophobic and called fans “high school-educated alcoholics” and “mouth breathers.”
The team spokesperson said Wednesday after the post came to light, “The language used in the video runs counter to our values at the Commanders organization.”
James O'Keefe, who founded the company last year, told The Associated Press by phone Wednesday the videos were taken during two dates in June in Washington. O'Keefe said Enteen and the woman who filmed the interactions met on a dating app.
