First-year head coach Ron Rivera was noncommittal when asked about whether Washington's NFL franchise should change its name.
Asked about the topic on 670 The Score's McNeil & Parkins Show, Rivera said it was "a discussion for another time."
"It's all about the moment and the timing," he said. "But I'm just somebody that's from a different era when football wasn't such a big part of the political scene. That's one of the tough things, too, is I've always wanted to keep that separate."
Rivera added that he supports the wider social justice movements and his players' participation in them but that "it's all about the timing and the best time to discuss those things.
