McDermott acknowledged that he spoke to his team about the ongoing situation hitting the country. On the video of Floyd’s death, McDermott said he was “disgusted” and “ashamed” at what happened. In regard to the discussions he had with members of the Bills, here’s what McDermott said via the team:
During his discussion, McDermott also mentioned how he had similar meetings with the team in 2017 when Colin Kaepernick visited Buffalo during his time with the 49ers when the quarterback was peacefully protesting before games during the national anthem.
