The Commanders’ newest tribute to Sean Taylor is insultingly unhealthy

Prior to Sunday’s sport towards the Atlanta Falcons, the Washington Commanders unveiled a brand new tribute to beloved security Sean Taylor, who was murdered on this date again in 2007.

However, the tribute to Taylor fell woefully in need of the mark, and Commanders followers usually are not glad.

The “statue” of Taylor appears to be like extra like a model that the Commanders pulled out of the group retailer at FedEx Field, and past that, the setup is stuffed with errors that have been shortly identified on social media.

Here is the second the tribute was unveiled at FedEx discipline:

As was identified, the cleats usually are not precisely proper:

You also can see how they used some outdated, worn-out socks on the statue as effectively.

Frankly, this jogged my memory of one of the random issues I’ve ever stumbled throughout in my life. This show exterior of a suburban Maryland workplace park of a Washington participant blocking a punt from the Dallas Cowboys:

Full disclosure, I took this photograph again in 2013, and don’t know if this set up nonetheless exists. But, how random is that this?

Back to the Taylor memorial. The tribute was shortly ridiculed on social media:

As famous above, this isn’t the franchise’s first try at honoring Taylor, and final yr’s effort went over simply as poorly. Last season, the group paid. tribute by naming a avenue close to FedEx discipline after him, and by portray his “21” on the sidelines. However, errors have been made:

The street named after Taylor was one the place the port-a-potties have been arrange, and the “21” on the sidelines was within the space roped off for VIPs. That led to Jackson Mahomes recording a TikTook on the “21” painted in Taylor’s honor, as Washington was internet hosting Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs that afternoon.

Mahomes later apologized for the incident.

Sunday’s poor try at honoring Taylor is simply the most recent mistake in a season stuffed with errors from the franchise. To be truthful, some have identified that with the group trying to transfer to a brand new stadium, maybe a extra everlasting statue of Taylor shall be unveiled at a later date.

But given what occurred final season, and the errors current on this yr’s effort, Commanders followers are past disillusioned.

As they need to be.
