Ron Rivera took the podium Tuesday to explain why he fined Jack Del Rio $100k last week and how the team and Del Rio are moving forward.
After beginning his presser with a lengthy statement about the situation, Rivera requested that the media focus only on football-related matters. But in a later follow up, he relayed how the First Amendment has been on his mind since Del Rio's initial comments and made a point of declaring his"respect" for it.
"I've read it again over and over the last few days," Rivera said."I really, truly have. I have a copy of it right now sitting on my desk." Rivera, though, was adamant that Del Rio must"understand with these rights, these freedoms, come tremendous responsibility."following the backlash to his quotes and this past weekend, deleted his Twitter account altogether. Doing so was Del Rio's choice and not any sort of order from the organization, per Rivera.
As for whether Del Rio is on his"last strike" now that he's been reprimanded, Rivera didn't want to get too specific. "No, this was not communicated any other way other than Jack and I had a conversation that'll remain between the two of us," Rivera said.
