A few Washington Commanders players acknowledged Thursday how the team’s unending scandals wear on them.
When asked whether it bothered them to see the organization use Robinson’s tragedy, most Commanders echoed Rivera’s message that they need to control what they can control and focus on the Philadelphia Eagles, their next opponent. But left tackle Charles Leno Jr. did not.“Everybody wants to be [politically correct], but of course it's upsetting,” he said. “[Robinson] never should've been part of that situation.
“I don't have the answers, but I'm talking about it,” he said. “Can we talk about how we balling on defense?” “How many times have I said it?” he asked. “It’s always stuff around here. But you got to keep the main thing the main thing — and we just want to focus on playing football. It’s very tough to do that. But it’s our job.”Over two seasons in Washington, Leno said he has learned a lesson: “You got to be really callous here.”
Rivera said he was not involved in drafting either statement; on Wednesday night, he was flying back to Virginia after a trip to California for the burial of his mother, Dolores Rivera-Munoz, who died last week.
