Commanders President Threatens To Restrict Reporter’s Access After He Disrespected Carson Wentz To His Face (VIDEO)

Washington Commanders president Jason Wright wasn’t happy with the way one reporter handled an interview with quarterback Carson Wentz.

ABC 7News DC reporter Scott Abraham asked the Washington Commanders quarterback some brutally-worded questions. He also asked Wentz about the narrative that he’s an inaccurate thrower and a “consistently inconsistent” passer while mentioning the previous teams who did not want him.

“Philly didn’t want you. Indy didn’t want you. Do you think this is your last chance to prove that you can be a starting quarterback in the NFL?” Abraham asked.

Despite with being faced with such hard criticism, Wentz handled it with class.

Thankfully, Carson demonstrated grace & class in response to this pompous, unprofessional mess. I recognize you have made a living on childlike provocation but it needs to be called out. Don’t expect special access and good luck building rapport with the guys @Scott7news . https://t.co/fegxgvcJmr

Wright seemed to have a particular issue with the way Abraham phrased the questions, saying it was disrespectful in a reply to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk:

You can honestly say, “Philly didn’t want you, Indy didn’t want you” is an appropriate tone? We value giving extraordinary access to local media & Lord knows can’t avoid hard questions here. But disrespect should never be tolerated and we should defend our guys when it surfaces.

I think the tone is obvious. Private conversations have been had and enough is enough. We’ve spent the last two years re-introducing ourselves and establishing a collaborative way of working with media. But being kind & values driven does not mean being a doormat.

The Colts, who traded a 2021 third-round pick and 2022 first-round pick for Wentz, dumped him off almost a year to the day later for minimal return. Indianapolis replaced Wentz with Matt Ryan, a quarterback who is eight years older and who performed worse than Wentz in every statistical category last season.

Wentz has a lot to prove in 2022.
