Bills' McDermott: Regrets 9/11 Comments
Coach Says He Made 'Thoughtless' Remarks
Statement Comes After Resurfaced Audio
Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott addressed the media Thursday after it emerged that he had once mentioned the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in a 2019 training camp talk. McDermott's comments, which were recently resurfaced in an online article, drew criticism for being insensitive and disrespectful to the victims of the attacks.
In his statement, McDermott apologized for his remarks, calling them "thoughtless" and "disrespectful." He said he understands the pain and suffering caused by the attacks and that he never intended to diminish their importance.
McDermott's apology has been met with mixed reactions. Some have praised him for taking responsibility for his actions, while others have expressed disappointment that he made such comments in the first place.
The Bills are scheduled to play the New York Jets on Sunday. It is unclear if McDermott's comments will have any impact on the game.
