Virginia Senate Majority Leader Richard L. Saslaw, who has led the charge to bring the Commanders franchise to Virginia, said Thursday that he’s giving up on the bill because of controversies surrounding the franchise, according to The Washington Post.
Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio was criticized for comments he made Wednesday when he referred to the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection as a “dust-up” at the Capitol.
Del Rio apologized for his comments on Wednesday night.
