The NFL and the Miami Dolphins say they’re aware of a social media video appearing to show offensive line coach Chris Foerster snorting three lines of a white powdery substance at a desk.
DAVIE, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The NFL and the Miami Dolphins say they’re aware of a social media video appearing to show offensive line coach Chris Foerster snorting three lines of a white powdery substance at a desk.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Monday the league will review the 56-second video, which was posted on Facebook and Twitter. According to the New York Daily News, the video was posted to Facebook by a woman, Kijuana Nige, who claimed Foerster sent it to her “professing his love.”
She posted the video hours after the Dolphins demanded that all their players stand for the national anthem or remain in the locker room.
“The white people mad at me like I forced blow down this mans nose and like I recorded it on tha low,” she wrote in now-deleted Facebook post. “No those are his habits and he recorded himself and sent it to me professing his love. So quick to make excuses for him but will roast a minority player over an athem, dog fights, weed, domestic issues etc. But y’all keep saying ALL LIVES MATTER STFU‼️”
Foerster, 55, has been an NFL assistant since 1992 and joined head coach Adam Gase’s staff in Miami last year.
“We were just made aware of the video and will have no comment at this time,” a team statement said. Foerster was unavailable for comment, the Dolphins said.
The video appears to show Foerster and the powdery substance on the desk. The man is holding a rolled-up $20 bill in his right hand, and appears to adjust the camera with his left hand. A team spokesperson confirmed to the Miami Herald that Foerster is the man seen in the video.
“Hey babe, miss you, thinking about you,” he says. “How about me going to a meeting and doing this before I go?”
He then snorts the substance into his nose though the $20 bill and notes “those big grains falling” as residue lands on the desk.
“What do you think, I’m crazy?” Foerster asks after snorting the second line. “Ah, no, babe.
“It’s going to be a while before we can do this again… ” he says, “But I think about you when I do it. I think about how much I miss you, how high we got together, how much fun it was. So much fun.”
Before snorting the final line he says, “Last little bit before I go to my meeting.”
The video surfaced hours after the Dolphins (2-2) beat Tennessee 16-10 on Sunday. Foerster’s line has played poorly this season, and the Dolphins rank last in the league in points and yards per game.
