Well,,,sounds like someone set this guy up lol. Picked up an undercover reporter from a dating app called Hinge (rhymes with cringe...lol).  My guess is there is no future in that relationship.


 The Commanders have fired an employee one day after a video surfaced in which he made comments about the team's players being anti-gay, accused Cowboys owner Jerry Jones of being racist and called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a "$50 million puppet."

Rael Enteen, Washington's vice president of content the previous four years, also criticized fans and called them "mouth breathers."

The team on Thursday confirmed the firing via a spokesperson but had no other comment on the matter.

Washington had suspended Enteen on Wednesday, shortly after the video from the O'Keefe Media Group was played on social media platforms. According to the video, Enteen had met the woman on the dating app Hinge, but she turned out to be undercover for the media group. They met twice in June at restaurants in D.C.

In a statement Wednesday, the team said it would investigate the situation. Less than 24 hours later, it fired Enteen.

"The language used in the video runs counter to our values at the Commanders organization," a Commanders spokesperson said in the initial statement.

Enteen told the undercover reporter that "over 50% of our roster is white religious, and God says, 'F--- the gays.' Their interpretation. I don't buy any of that. Another big chunk is low-income African Americans that comes from a community that is inherently very homophobic."

He also said, "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."

He also said on the video that "most of the fans are high-school-educated alcoholics" and called them "mouth breathers."

On the video, Enteen also said some players are "dumb as hell" and said some who were smart don't stay that way after getting hit in the head too many times. He also said those who "get their heads knocked around a few times" are more susceptible to conspiracy theories.

Enteen also told the reporter, whose name was not revealed and who can be heard on the video but not seen, that his job was to sell hope. Three years ago, there were videos of pipes leaking at then-FedEx Stadium. Fans said it smelled like sewage, but Enteen said he tweeted out that it was just water.

"That," he said, "is state-run media."

And that dude...is the end of your job.

Yep… That was a setup. They must have had some prior knowledge of this guy’s inclinations or they wouldn’t have zeroed in on him.

I’m a believer in a person’s right to have an opinion, even if it runs counter to mainstream political correctness. But when that person opts to openly express an ‘unpopular’ opinion, they need to be ready to accept criticism. Losing his job was the ultimate expression of criticism.

I am reminded of a couple of “proverbs” that speak to this very issue.

** “Be sure brain is in gear before putting mouth into motion.”

** “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
