Commanders fire vice president of content over offensive comments in videos

The Washington Commanders have fired their vice president of content a day after the team suspended him for making offensive comments about NFL players, fans and others. A team spokesperson confirmed the firing to USA TODAY Sports on Thursday.

Rael Enteen, who had been with the Commanders for four years, was filmed making these comments on dates with a woman who worked for the O'Keefe Media Group. The undercover videos of Enteen were shared on social media.

A Commanders spokesman said on Wednesday: “The language used in the video contradicts our values ​​at the Commanders organization.”

According to the Associated Press, James O'Keefe, the group's founder, said the interviews took place on two dates in June in Washington, D.C., after Enteen met the woman, whose name was not disclosed, on the dating app Hinge.

In the videos, Enteen said that NFL fans were “high school-educated alcoholics” and made derogatory comments about players, Commissioner Roger Goodell and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
