Commanders Announce Fine for Jack Del Rio After Jan. 6 Comments
Commanders coach Ron Rivera announced Friday that the team is fining defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio $100,000 for the comments he made on Twitter regarding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
The team will donate this money to the US Capitol Police Memorial Fund for those who lost their lives during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“This morning I met with Coach Del Rio to express how disappointed I am in his comments on Wednesday,” Rivera said, via the team’s statement. “His comments do not reflect the organization’s views and are extremely hurtful to our great community here in the DMV.”
