I’m not saying he did, but IF he did say it, I hope to hell he didn’t mean it and it was simply a terrible slip of the tongue. However, if it’s proven that he did say it, then he deserves everything coming to him. Especially, saying something like that in that quasi-public setting and after the swift public denial.
If I recall correctly, I don’t believe this is the first time we’ve heard that Pegula has been linked to some questionable commentary. That said, while it seems a bit out of character (and, frankly, completely out of touch), would it really surprise anyone if he did say it? Historically, the NFL hasn’t exactly been leading the charge on the social (in)justice front. At least until they either were forced to or they finally started listening to the players’ experiences.
