The Washington Commanders had what should have been a public relations slam dunk Sunday morning. That’s when, on the fifteenth anniversary of Sean Taylor’s untimely death, the franchise was set to unveil a statue in tribute of the hard-hitting, fan-favorite safety.
And, because they are a constant disaster under the stewardship of a cartoon villain come to life — team owner and general mess of a human being Daniel Snyder — the Commanders couldn’t even get that right. Instead of a statue, Washington unveiled … a mannequin. The tribute 15 years in the making wasn’t a statue at all. Instead, it was a wire-framed, faceless figure whose only resemblance to Taylor is the jersey it wears.
