Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera announced on Friday that he is fining his defensive coordinator, Jack Del Rio, $100,000 for comments comparing the January 6 Capitol riot with violent protests following the murder of George Floyd.

Rivera said the financial penalty the team collects from defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio will be donated to the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund, created by Congress to support the families of USCP officers killed or injured in the line of duty.

Del Rio had called the riot a “dust-up,” and suggested that the difference in the media coverage of January 6 and the coverage of the riots that occurred after Floyd’s murder in May 2020 reflected a double standard.

“Why are we not looking into those things — if we’re going to talk about it — why are we not looking into those things?” Del Rio said on Wednesday. “I can look at images on the TV, people’s livelihoods are being destroyed, businesses are being burned down, no problem. And then we have a dustup at the Capitol, nothing burned down, and we’re going to make that a major deal. I just think it’s kind of two standards, and if we apply the same standard and we’re going to be reasonable with each other, let’s have a discussion. That’s all it was. Let’s have a discussion.”

Del Rio was defending a Monday tweet that read “Would love to understand ‘the whole story’ about why the summer of riots, looting, burning and the destruction of personal property is never discussed but this is??? #CommonSense.”

Rivera said he met with Del Rio Friday to express “how disappointed I am in his comments,” according to a statement.

“As we saw last night in the hearings, what happened on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 was an act of domestic terrorism,” Rivera declared. “A group of citizens attempted to overturn the results of a free and fair election, and as a result, lives were lost and the Capitol building was damaged.”

On Thursday night, the House of Representatives’ January 6 committee held a prime-time hearing on the Capitol riot.

Rivera asserted that the Washington Commanders do not believe the Black Lives Matter unrest that ravaged cities across the country in summer 2020 is remotely comparable to January 6.

“I want to make it clear that our organization will not tolerate any equivalency between those who demanded justice in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the actions of those on January 6 who sought to topple our government,” he said.

Del Rio issued an apology statement Wednesday while doubling-down on the sentiment that he, and all Americans, should only accept peaceful protest.

“I made comments earlier today in referencing the attack that took place on January 6, 2021. Referencing that situation as a ‘dust-up’ was irresponsible and negligent and I am sorry,” he said. “I stand by my comments condemning violence in communities across the country. I say that while also expressing support as an American citizen for peaceful protest in our country.”
