Bills coach Sean McDermott apologizes for crediting 9/11 hijackers for their coordination while talking to team in 2019
CBSN
An emotional Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott acknowledged regret on Thursday for comments he made during a team meeting four years ago crediting the 9/11 hijackers for their coordination.
McDermott had cited the hijackers while stressing the importance of communication. Upon realizing how his message was being interpreted, McDermott said he called a second team meeting an hour later to apologize to his players. And he planned to do so again with his current team members on Thursday, after an article posted on the Substack page of NFL writer Tyler Dunne, citing numerous unnamed sources, revealed what McDermott had said at the meeting during training camp in 2019.
The article alleges McDermott "cited the hijackers as a group of people who were all able to get on the same page to orchestrate attacks to perfection."
