Washington Commanders DC Jack Del Rio defends tweets about Jan. 6 hearings, refers to Capitol insurrection as 'dustup'
ESPN ^ | 6/8/2022 | John Keim

Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio defended his tweets about the upcoming congressional hearings on the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, saying he wants to know why there's not similar energy devoted to the "riots" in the summer of 2020 as there is to what he termed a "dustup" at the U.S. Capitol.

Del Rio tweeted Monday in response to a tweet about upcoming hearings on the events of Jan. 6: "Would love to understand 'the whole story' about why the summer of riots, looting, burning and the destruction of personal property is never discussed but this is??? #CommonSense."

Del Rio said Wednesday he was just asking a question about events in the spring and summer of 2020 that followed George Floyd's death.

"Why are we not looking into those things -- if we're going to talk about it -- why are we not looking into those things?" Del Rio said. "I can look at images on the TV, people's livelihoods are being destroyed, businesses are being burned down, no problem. And then we have a dustup at the Capitol, nothing burned down, and we're going to make that a major deal. I just think it's kind of two standards, and if we apply the same standard and we're going to be reasonable with each other, let's have a discussion. That's all it was. Let's have a discussion."

Nice to see there are some in the NFL with common sense willing to speak up

Looks like the Washington Comrades NFL team will soon have a new defensive coordinator.

He’s absolutely correct, but I think he will most definitely be fired, fined or disciplined for making the statement.

“What is there to “defend”? He told the truth”

Rush Limbaugh said the truth can get you in trouble in this country...and he was right.

Remember we’re talking about the nfl here....this is the same league that wouldn’t let the Dallas Cowboys put a sticker on their helmets in support of law enforcement.

He’s right about this.

But his team should still be the Redskins

Has he been fired yet? He's not allowed to say that. 😋

But I give him a 👍.

Trish Regan lost her job for saying the Dems were politicizing Covid.

Truth has nothing to do with it.

Careful Jack.

Drawing the ire of far-left ESPN is liable to get you fired.

He knows he will be fired and obviously doesn’t care. The truth is poison inside the Beltway of Bribery.

I feel sorry for people affiliated with the NFL these days.

They worked their tails off to obtain the positions they
have, and the organizations have gone full on Marxist on
them.

I admire those players who refused to wear the LGBT insignia
the other day. I forget it if was a football team or
baseball team now, but good on them.

They have the NERVE to put quotation marks around “riots”, referring to BLM Antifa insurrections?

Hate commie bastards.
