TheKillerNacho Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I feel like if it was any other franchise, I would need to double check that this wasn't the Onion. Dan Snyder is a joke. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Nah....... Jersey being Nike (wasn't even worn during Taylor's time), pants being Reebok & shoes being Adidas SOCCER shoes is nuts. ☠️ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawgX Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Snyder makes Jimmy Haslam seem competent and angelic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity_Cometh Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Invoking a dead man's memory with such a half assed effort is beneath low. And he's done this before to try to dilute the news cycle from some debauchery of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, plenty of people tragically pass away that dont get memorialized despite having a profound effect on others. This isnt me suggesting he shouldnt be memorialized, let me explain, my point is simply this, if you're going to do something to honor someones memory and impact, do it right from the get go. A Bronze Statue outside of Washington's Stadium, a memorial plaque inside of the stadium itself, anything of the sort would be a true honor over the mockery and blatant apit in the face Snyder has done, not once, but twice now. Sean Taylor from what i'd learned about him during his football career about his life was a good human being who treated others with great respect and cared about his community. He doesn't deserve to have his memory spit on. The funny part about this is that he is already memorialized. His entire locker was removed and is encased in glass in the club level. So if you want to do something, cart that downstairs. Don’t put up a dumb mannequin that looks like you borrowed it from Macy’s, with mismatched uniform pieces. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamq Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) At first I thought at least they used his own game worn equipment, maybe even from his last game.. but no.. they had an intern pull out some junk from the closet and put some glass around it. I'm embarrassed for Washington fans Edited November 28, 2022 by adamq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanrick Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 The last thing in the world I want to do is sound like I'm defending Snyder, but some context is perhaps helpful... Quote There was disappointment around the fact that the statue was actually just a mannequin sporting Taylor’s jersey. The jersey and pants used different brands. Fans were also confused why the statue was wearing Adidas soccer cleats. However, Washington was actually sort of right with this detail and not careless with the details as some fans speculated. Taylor wore soccer cleats during some of his football games by choice, but often he sported the Nike “Total 90” style, according to Yahoo! Sports’s Shalise Manza Young. Then, Taylor’s daughter, Jackie, seemingly confirmed to reporters that the detail of her father’s soccer cleats was correct. She admitted that the soccer cleats were her favorite part of the memorial. “That’s something that was super special to him and something that he chose to do,” Jackie said, via WUSA9. https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/11/27/sean-taylor-memorial-soccer-cleats-commanders 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This being said, this still ain’t a gaddam statue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///mcompact Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I don't think I've ever commented about Washington/Snyder drama, just not my thing. But this? This is disgraceful in the truest sense. It's not honoring the man in any shape or form. It's just a uniform. And it's as empty of a gesture as it looks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOUCAN Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 All of us hate Snyder more than you guys can fathom if you're not a part of the fanbase. I'm not defending him, but if the family had input on this and this is what they wanted and their daughter was okay with, then it's totally fine. Frankly her thoughts and opinions on this matter is worth a literal billion of ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
