The NFL Rookie Was Shot On Sunday During An Attempted Carjacking And Armed Robbery Incident In The Nation's Capital

The newest member of the NFL's Washington Commanders (Formally the Washington Redskins) Brian Robinson has recovered from surgery, after the 2022 NFL Draftee was shot during an attempted armed robbery and carjacking incident on Sunday.

The incident happened in the US capital of Washington DC, when at around 18:00 U.S.E.D.S.T. (6pm) two goons attempted to rob the NFL player and steal his car, before fleeing the scene whilst being shot at.

Capital Police have announced they've found the gun used in the shooting, but neither of the two suspects have been caught.

In a statement posted to social media on Monday evening, Robinson stated that: "I was blindsided by the whole ordeal, it was fight or flight and I made what I consider to be the right call".

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera, who visited Robinson in the hospital, stated that: "He is very fortunate to survive the robbery attempt, it's a very unfortunate situation but he is doing well.

The players came together following Monday practice to talk about what had happened, I knew their hearts were heavy that day, a lot of them still think about Brian as he continues treatment.

It's really just about the healing process, then once he's well enough to get back out onto the field, then the doctors will clear him and the Commanders will take it from there.

He's one heck of a young man, more than just any normal football player".

Some have taken to Twitter to launch bile upon Brian Robinson and the team, calling it: "Revenge for changing the team name".

The Washington Commanders where known as the Washington Redskins from 1937 until February 2nd 2022, when economic pressure from the NFL following five years of campaigning by SJW activists to rename the team and change the logo finally caved in on the Redskins's owners.

The name change was controversial for several reasons:

1: Many of the campaigners calling for the name and logo change were White Americans aged between 15 and 32 years old, not Native Americans aged between 42 and 70 years old as claimed by CNN and CNBC News.

2: According to a poll by Yale University, over 90% of Native Americans in the United States opposed the name change, often stating that such name changes to both the Redskins and the MLB's Cleveland Indians (Renamed  the Guardians in December of 2020) retroactively discouraged Native American representation in both sports and wider society (A dangerous trend affecting many races and products bearing their image(s) across the globe).

3: The Redskins didn't change their name to the Washington Commanders due to public opinion, rather due to economic sanctions put on the team by the NFL.

Other sports teams with Native American imagery and names face the same fate as the Redskins and Indians, with campaigners also targeting fellow NFL team the Kansas City Chiefs and NHL's Chicago Blackhawks due to their use of Native American imagery and names being seen as: "Offensive towards Native Americans", despite those saying that being young White Americans with zero ties to the Native Americans who don't wish for their representation in sports to fade away.

The Washington Commanders have yet to comment on if they'll act against the taunting tweets by die-hard Redskins loyalists.
