00:00Whose decision was it to suspend Desmond?
00:03What went into it, and what was your reaction when you saw the gloating?
00:07I mean, I was disappointed when I saw that.
00:09I was, with no question about it.
00:11I didn't see it during the game, obviously.
00:14I was disappointed with how he handled it,
00:16and I think just for him, just an awareness of the optics.
00:22Knowing him like I do, do I believe deep down in my heart
00:25that he was celebrating over an injured player?
00:28No.
00:28I'm disappointed with what he did,
00:31and he needs to be, he needs to have more awareness
00:34because it was a serious situation.
00:35We never want to see anybody down like that ever on any side,
00:40and that's why we made the decision to suspend him for a game.
00:45Now, with that being said, you know,
00:47he's a young person that made a mistake,
00:49and I would ask all the people out there, you know,
00:52that, you know, have an opinion on it and all that,
00:56just to consider, too, if that was your son, right,
00:59and he made a mistake, how would you want to handle it?
01:01So a consequence is real, but we support him.
01:04He's a part of our family.
01:05He's one of ours.
01:06I look at him like his son,
01:10and, you know, even a situation where he made a mistake
01:12doesn't change that.
01:13He's one of ours.
