The Redskins were going along smoothly after having a good draft, including drafting one of the top offensive linemen prospects Brandon Scherff, until today. Â During an interview with 106.7 the Fan, Washington general manager Scot McCloughan was asked about Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper playing in the NFL. Â His answer was, well not good.
He went on to say,  “I went to a game a couple weeks ago, and he flipped his hips and caught a fly ball out in right field in the corner, and I thought, maybe [cornerback]. But I’m thinking, uhh, okay, no, he’s gotta be a safety. He’s a white guy.”
Seriously? What were you thinking with that answer? Maybe he thought he was being funny, but for a guy who works for a team with a team name that is considered racist really should know better. Â Another day, another person in the NFL says something publicly they will end up regretting.
