The question had no place in the conference, The reporter, the NFL, and frankly those supporting it should be ashamed.
I’m not upset the question was asked and answered. I do think there is a double standard though because of what you posted here about Del Rio. It sets a bad precedence that when a somewhat political question is asked, you better answer it the way the media/political activists want you too or you will lose money.
There is a somewhat perversion of an answer when you know there are consequences based on how you answer. If Joe says he supports the right to bear arms, he likely is getting rail roaded by the media.
I appreciate his attempt to appease (whether he truly believes it or not) the activists, while also appeasing the other side by basically saying what both sides want to hear.
