On Wednesday, Rael Enteen, Vice President of Content for the NFL’s Washington Commanders, was secretly filmed on an “undercover date” by “citizen journalist” James O’Keefe’s’O’Keefe Media Group.’
During the undercover date, Enteen implied that the Commanders lied to fans about the sewage leak.
“My job is to sell hope to the fans, I need them buying tickets, I need them buying jerseys, when there’s not much hope to sell I need to dig deep and find it..”
“We had like pipes leaking sewage on our fans in the middle of a game, and I have to put out a social post saying “It wasn’t sewage water, we promise.” That is state-run media.”
