COWBOY-KILLA- Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 @BigDibbs31 I can see JDR being a Trump supporter, that doesn't shock me. It's a free country. But going back and forth on twitter vs. the masses may not be the wisest choice in this political environment. As many on his side like to say about players, Just shut up and coach...

Remember when Cam Newton made overtly sexist remarks to that female journalist ? Like that time, I don't see him parting ways with JDR. My guess is Ron has a talk with him, and JDR makes a public apology for 'insensitive remarks'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He openly retweeted a fake AOC tweet that doesn’t help as well. Not sure what he thought to gain going public on Twitter about this at all. The last thing we need football wise is to lose JDR.

Conn Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Jeez...I figured people were overreacting but it is actually...pretty bad. Even retweeting fake conspiracy theory crap. If he's smart he'll say he was hacked...but he just got a lot less likeable, if it was him. Seems different from the tone and content of his usual tweets, but then with recent events being what they have been it may have been enough to make some usually professional people crack and reveal their true colors so to speak. Not what we need a month from training camp when almost no one's even MET the new DC they're supposed to want to run through a wall for. More importantly, not what we need as people right now.

I agree with how the reaction will probably be overall, especially with a bunch of AA guys on defense. Don’t think political views make him racist but this might be the worst time since the 1960s to argue that. This is about as Redskins as Redskins gets.

Burgundy Yoda Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Jack Del Rio is 100% drinking by himself right now. There's no way a sober person would take bait that easily on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartyPosse Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The fact that people are saying he deserves to be fired because of his leanings makes me hate people more than anything.

It is the worst time ever to have those tweets come out regardless of what anyone thinks. It just takes a prominent defensive player and a local media mob to come out against what he says and it is downhill from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS#21 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Gained absolutely nothing tweeting that out. The players will turn quickly if things get off to a bad start on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 That's dumb, but not fireable. Probably was just a drunken slip up. I get the old white guy club of coaches that the NFL is made up of. Glad that's falling away. Strange that most players are black, coach is a Puerto Rican and you can openly endorse Trump, but we are named the Redskins and going to die on that hill.

Cancel Culture is no longer about vindication against criminals so much as it’s now “if you don’t agree with everything I believe then you deserve to have your life ruined.” You have to understand it from a business standpoint though. In a capitalistic society, money is all that matters. And if the people spending money say they dont like this about your product, you change that or lose money. The NFL decided to give that money up before, so not all is lost. They may choose to give it up again. It worked for them last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Treading lightly, Jack Del Rio has the right to voice his political opinions. The great thing about America is that we have the right to be wrong. It's a shame that he's got gulled into this conspiracy quicksand. Hopefully, he can escape it. Unfortunately, there are a lot of smart, accomplished people who are also idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these things are true. Its going to be pretty interesting to see where this goes. Cause this is kinda political - you cant really talk about it without at least acknowledging the politics of it all - I posted it in the tailgate thread about Trump Supporters. Try not to do the politics thing here if you can avoid it cause then we will lose the thread and this is a good one. But this is sure to be a fun topic. Dont come to the tailgate and be dumb though.

Snyder donated $1M to Trump's inauguration for a start. The 'kiss my ass' bit is not going to help Del Rio here. It is a free Country and people are absolutely entitled to support and believe in whatever and whoever they want to - but people are also fully entitled to judge them based on that support and how they express it. Who you support says a lot about your values. Now with with my MOD hat on - it is fine to continue this conversation in the Stadium about the impact and fall out of this as it relates to the team. If anyone wants to discuss the politics of it there are several threads in Tailgate for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 As long as defense is among the best, people will ignore his comments. If the defense still sucks, then Del Rio will be gone in 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
