Entine was initially suspended Wednesday for comments he allegedly made in a video recorded by a woman working as an undercover investigator for O'Keefe Media in which he called NFL fans “high school dropout alcoholics” and commissioner Roger Goodell a “$50 million puppet.”
“The language used in the video is counter to the values of the Commanders organization. We have suspended the employee pending the completion of our internal investigation and will not be commenting further at this time,” a Commanders spokesperson told The Washington Post's Ryan Glasspiegel.
