It wasn’t the best Wednesday for Jack Del Rio.
In a press conference, the Washington Commanders defensive coordinator offered up a word-salad rant regarding the January 6, 2020 attempted insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Among the more notable tidbits, Del Rio downplayed that riot, which resulted in multiple deaths, calling it a “dust-up at the Capitol.” At the same time, he denounced widespread protests against police brutality around the U.S. Those were partly in reaction to George Floyd’s murder at the hands of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Chauvin was convicted for his crimes in April 2021 and sentenced to 22 years in prison.
