ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Commanders say they have suspended an employee pending an internal investigation after he was shown making derogatory comments about players and fans in undercover video posted on social media. VP of content Rael Enteen said in the video posted by O'Keefe Media Group that some players were dumb and homophobic and called fans high-school educated alcoholics. A team spokesperson said the language in the video runs counter to the values of the Commanders organization. James O'Keefe, who founded the company last year, told The Associated Press by phone that the videos were taken in Washington in June.
