SNL makes fun of the Buffalo Bills as well as Sean McDermott for what they said about 9/11.
What Sean McDermott said about 9/11 and his apology made it to Saturday Night Live. Cole Jost made fun of the head coach as well as the Buffalo Bills during the show’s “Weekend Update” section.
It had a picture of McDermott and the Bills’ badge on top of the words “Praises terrorists for teamwork.” “Because Osama bin Laden told the terrorists not to be like the Buffalo Bills when he was encouraging them.”
The punch line was set by Jost: “Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott apologized following giving a speech to the players in which he used 9/11 terrorists as a good example of teamwork. It was kind of a full circle moment.”
This week, a Tyler Dunne story brought to light McDermott’s 2019 views about 9/11. The head coach of the Bills said that meeting had been to talk about how important it is to communicate and be on the exact same page. McDermott said he was sorry for using 9/11 within the speech at a press meeting.
“I felt bad that day that I talked about 9/11 in my message,” he said. “And I told the team I was sorry right away.” 9/11 was not only a terrible day in American history, but it also happened to be the day I lost a close family friend.
McDermott also said, “If anyone misunderstood or didn’t get my message, I’m sorry.” “I wasn’t clear enough about what I wanted to say in my message.”
In a strange way, that was about how important it is to talk to each other and make sure everyone is on the same page.
That was essential to me back then, and it still is. There’s a strange problem with the Buffalo Bills right now that we’ve observed in the NFL this past week.
Ty Dunne wrote a series of articles about Sean McDermott’s time as head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
One of them told a story about a speech he gave to the team in 2019 in which he basically used the 9/11 attackers as an example in a group that works together to get something done.
Dunne wrote, “He told the whole team that they needed to work together.” “But then, people close to him say, he utilized a strange example: the 9/11 terrorists.
Based on what he said, the hijackers were a group of individuals who were able to work together to plan strikes perfectly.
McDermott began to ask individual players within the group questions one by one. “How do you believe they were able to work together?”
McDermott later said sorry, both at the time and after the story came out. But for a team that was already having a hard time making the playoffs, it was the kind of weird distraction that you’d think everyone would like to avoid.
It’s no surprise that McDermott has been the subject of many jokes since the event. For example, Colin Jost made fun of the actor on Saturday Night Live during Weekly Update.
It is clear that many people within the crowd found out right then and there that McDermott told that joke. Anyway, the Bills are going to be in Kansas City on Sunday because they have a game against the Chiefs coming up.
It was just a short joke during the whole Weekend Update. Because of all the talk about this problem in the NFL this week, it’s great to hear someone make a little fun of it.
In a message to his players, Bills coach Sean McDermott used the 9/11 terrorists as an example of working together, which led to an apology. It’s interesting that when Osama Bin Laden pumped up attackers, he told them not to be like the Bills.
McDermott told reporters on Friday that he knows he made a mistake, but that the team still backs him up after the questionable comparison his made four years ago.
The 20-second clip of Colin Jost telling the joke can be seen above. It’s clear that this story has grown big. This story is no longer just about sports; it’s now in the news.
“It was important for me to talk to the players who have been new to the team since 2019 and might not have been here that day,” McDermott said. He met with the players on Thursday to talk about the statements.
“They knew what happened and how it happened, and based on who I am and what they’ve seen, my hope, the way I try to do things, and how I handled that situation, it went well.” Their help was clear, and I really valued it.
The singer-songwriter said, “I think in every aspect of our lives, if something like this came up, it would definitely make you think.” “Just being honest.” It’s been frustrating. It’s been painful. I know who I am at the conclusion of the day.
I know how to handle myself at the conclusion of the day. I’ve already said in a humble way that I’m not perfect. Every day when I wake up, I try to do my best to win games over the Buffalo Bills fans the right way.
