On Sunday, Commanders fans made a clear statement to team owners Dan and Tanya Snyder: Sell the team.
When Tanya appeared in a public service announcement on the jumbotron during the team’s home game against the Packers, fans began to chant, “sell the team,” per several reporters at FedExField. Not only that, but a number of fans brought “sell the team” signs to the game as well. In a video posted on Twitter, it appears that FedExField security singled out fans with the signs, but it’s unclear if they were told they couldn’t put the signs up.
Tanya also notably used the team’s previous nickname when honoring former Washington players, saying, “All hail to the Red-----.” The team changed the name in 2020 after years of complaints by Native American groups.
