NFL Twitter destroyed Dan Snyder over embarrassing Sean Taylor statue

It turns out there truly is no bottom when it comes to how low Dan Snyder will sink after the pitiful reveal of Sean Taylor’s “statue”.

Today was the day the Washington Commanders revealed its tribute to Sean Taylor, a moment that even for a franchise with an almost undefeated ability to burp up all over itself while slouched over in a chair seemed hard to get wrong.

Never doubt how low Dan Snyder will sink, though.

Rather than unveiling a tribute to the late NFL star, who remains to this day one of the most beloved players in franchise history, the Commanders turned in another half-assed effort that confirms a running theory that no one in the building is capable of anything more than utter disappointment.

In fact, the Commanders didn’t even reveal a statute at all. Instead, they revealed that the “statue” was nothing more than a wire mannequin in a glass case wearing Taylor’s uniform.

Rather than an actual statue or an actual tribute, Synder went with something that very well could have been lifted from the team’s store.

NFL Twitter roasts Dan Snyder over Sean Taylor statue

NFL fans and media were in lockstep over their reaction to the statue. It takes a lot for fans and the media to universally agree on something in the world of football, but Snyder managed to bring everyone together to absolutely take him to task over how ashamed he should be for tossing the legacy of Taylor aside as he did.

Truly nobody thought that the statue was anything less than Snyder essentially spitting on Taylor’s grave while doing a Jordan Shrug.

Sean Taylor is one of the most beloved players in Washington team history. The team made a big show of how it was going to unveil a memorial to honor him today. And the memorial is just his uniform. That’s all it is. No more thought put into it than that. https://t.co/rZ6XpdXqiP

Sean Taylor was one of the most polarizing athletes to ever grace an NFL field, let alone wear the burgundy and gold.

THIS is what the team unveiled today in his honor? A jersey on a mannequin with wire arms and soccer cleats? This is absolutely disgusting.

Let’s hope the new owner does more than put a wire mannequin with a uniform Sean Taylor never wore in the hallway.

This looks like something you’d see in the team store. https://t.co/P0N1YgEE0D

You know, I was willing to believe it was just a coincidence they were unveiling a Sean Taylor memorial during a PR crisis, but this does not look like a project that was months or years in the making. https://t.co/NR574kXia4

Washington always finds a way to embarrass itself. Not a statue, but a mannequin for Sean Taylor. This is literally like a display in a store. Unbelievable. https://t.co/qpfQ5Eh0uZ

Embarrassing organization.

Inaccurate era Nike jersey.
Reebok pants.

And not a statue (as has been promoted all week)… but a mannequin to honor Sean Taylor?

Can’t even do something so simple correctly. https://t.co/KVQsyY1arM

The Sean Taylor statue reveal is another low point for a franchise that seems unable to be respectable and also unrelenting in its pursuit of finding out where the bottom is.
