A Washington Commanders executive who was recently suspended by the franchise for inflammatory remarks he made on a secretly-recorded date has now been fired, according to ESPN.
Rael Enteen, the Vice President of Content for the franchise, went on a date with an undercover reporter for O’Keefe Media Group – and claimed the team’s black players were ‘homophobic’, that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was racist and that some players throughout the league were ‘dumb as hell.’
He told the O’Keefe Media journalist, ‘A big chunk [of the Commanders roster] is very low-income African-Americans that comes from a community that is inherently very homophobic.’
‘I love hip-hop, hip-hop is very homophobic,’ he added. ‘It’s a cultural thing that I hope gets better.’
Enteen’s accusations of homophobia also extended beyond the team’s black community as he also claimed that 50 percent of the roster is white and religious, suggesting they are also homophobic in accordance with Christian anti-LGBTQIA+ teachings.
He also labeled NFL fans as ‘mouth breathers’ before slamming the NFL’s social justice initiatives, such as the league’s commitment to ‘Black Lives Matter, Pride, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as ‘performative’ for the sake of good publicity.
A Commanders spokesperson previously told DailyMail.com, ‘The language used in the video runs counter to our values at the Commanders organization.’
