Bills head coach Sean McDermott is often the mouth of the organization.
Even in the face of a racial lawsuit sent to the NFL which named team owner Terry Pegula.
Former NFL Media reporter Jim Trotter filed the lawsuit which stated Pegula said Black players should “go back to Africa and see how bad it is.” The Bills owner was said to have made the remark in a critical manner when discussing past and potentially future player protests conducted to shed light on racial and social injustices.
The lawsuit was revealed on Tuesday. Pegula released a statement denying the accusation.
One day later, McDermott was the first person in the Bills organization to go to the podium for a press conference and he was asked about it right away.
The coach defended the team owner, saying that comments in the lawsuit are not representative of “the man I know.”
McDermott’s full comments can be found in the Bills Live clip below:
