Brian Robinson’s Teammates ‘Upset’ Over Commanders Dragging Him Into Controversy
The behind-the-scenes turmoil surrounding the Commanders made its way into the locker room this week thanks to an insensitive reference the team made regarding rookie Brian Robinson Jr. Wednesday night.
Responding to an anticipated announcement that D.C. attorney General Karl Racine filed a consumer protection lawsuit against the team, the Commanders spokesperson referenced Robinson's shooting incident in August in a statement.
“Less than three months ago, a 23-year-old player on our team was shot multiple times, in broad daylight,” the statement began before mentioning that Racine would be holding a press conference on the team “despite the out-of-control violent crime in DC.”
