I think the claims in the article are true, as multiple reliable news sources have backed them up, and the interaction was caught on a video that has now been re-distributed across social media by numerous reliable sources. Although the New York Post is not generally the most reliable source, the sheer amount of reliable sources that have reported Rael Enteen's firing as VP of the Commanders would leave me to believe that this story is true.

Here are sources from CBS Sports, NBC Sports, and The Sporting News that I found which confirmed the firing of the Commanders VP:
