The Washington Commanders fired vice president of content Rael Enteen after a video surfaced online in which he criticized players on the team for being anti-gay, accused Jerry Jones of being racist and claimed that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was a “$50 million puppet” controlled by the league’s owners.
Additionally, Enteen made crude remarks about the Commanders’ fan base and football fans in general, labeling them as “high-school educated alcoholics” and “mouth breathers.”
Enteen was initially suspended by Washington on Wednesday after the video began making rounds on social media when it was posted by O’Keefe Media Group. The comments were made during a conversation with an undercover reporter, whom he met on a dating app, who secretly videotaped their encounter.
Enteen indicated that Roger Goodell was merely an expensive puppet controlled by the owners of NFL teams, and singled out Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, as the individual running the league.
“I don’t think the commissioner of the NFL hates gay people, hates black people. Jerry Jones, who really runs the NFL, I think he hates gay people, black people,” Enteen told the reporter.
