    defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio had a busy week commenting on -- and about -- the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which he initially downplayed as a "dust-up" in comparison to riots acro s the country the prior summer. On Friday, his head coach, Ron Rivera, made him pay for it. Rivera met with Del Ka'imi Fairbairn Jersey Rio to expre s disappointment in the latter's remarks, then that he's fined the defensive coordinator $100,000, which will be donated to the U.S. Capitol Police Memorial Fund."(Coach Del Rio's) comments do not reflect the organization's views and are extremely hurtful to our great community in the DMV," Rivera said. "As we saw last night in the (Congre s) hearings, what happened on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was an act of domestic terrorism. A group of citizens attempted to overturn the results of a free and fair election, and as a result, lives were lost and the Capitol building was damaged."Coach Del Rio did apologize for his comments on Wednesday and he understands the distinction between the events of that dark day and peaceful protests, which are a hallmark of our democracy," Rivera Terrence Brooks Jersey continued. "He does have the right to voice his opinion as a citizen of the United States and it most certainly is his constitutional right to do so. However, words have consequences and his words hurt a lot of people in our community. I want to make it clear that our organization will not tolerate any equivalency between those who demanded justice in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the actions of those on Jan. 6 who sought to topple Derek Stingley Jr. Jersey our government."Following the fine and Rivera's comments, Del Rio .Rivera revealed more behind his decision to fine Del Rio, calling the defensive coordinators comments distracting to the team. "This is not about the fact that he exercised his right to free speech. This is about him impacting the football team," Rivera . "This is about the impact that was made on our football team, the distraction it has become. It's a very serious question and topic, but at the end of the day, it did impact us, and that's why I did what I did."Rivera said Del Rio apologized for the comments when he spoke to the team and was open to questions from players.Del Rio's initial remarks came Monday, when he replied to a Andy Janovich Jersey tweet about Jan. 6 hearings, asking why the Capitol a Pharaoh Brown Jersey sault is discu sed more than the "summer of riots, looting, burning and the destruction of personal property." On Wednesday, he doubled down on his critiques at a pre s conference, suggesting destructive protests following George Floyd's 2020 murder are overlooked whereas the Jan. 6 insurrection was not a "major deal." His fine will contribute to the USCP Memorial Fund, which was established by Congre s as the official means for the public to support the families of Capitol Police officers killed in the line of duty, and/or officers who have sustained serious line-of-duty injuries.
