The Commanders honored their star athlete Sean Taylor on Sunday at FedEx Field. Fans were expecting a life-sized statue with the franchise considering all his minute details; however, the presentation happened to be an utter failure. Although his daughter looked pleased by the gesture, his followers weren’t willing to accept the memorial.

It looked more like a Mannequin, and the entire structure was hollow-wired, wearing the old vintage commanders jersey. As soon as the curtains were removed, fans lost their early excitement and looked disappointed.

A mismatched attire with a Nike jersey, Reebok pants, and Adidas cleats fumed the fans because it all happened to contradict their expectations.

When the drape got pulled out, Taylor’s family were looking at each other, and that snippet went viral across social media garnering several reactions from the fans. Netizens pointed out several mistakes like the facemask wasn’t there, which happened to be his signature look.

Apparently, Taylor’s daughter (Jackie) was present at the ceremony. She looked quite emotional and appreciated the efforts put forward by the franchise and the fanbase. Jackie mentioned that she liked the soccer cleats, and it was something close to Taylor’s unique identity.

The Miami product stepped his foot inside the NFL arena in 2004 as a first-round pick, fifth overall, to be specific. He played for four seasons with the Commanders and led the team toward its first playoff win in six years.

In November 2007, he countered an unfortunate situation trying to foil a burglary at his Florida home and got shot in his legs. Despite taking him to the hospital, his life couldn’t be saved due to blood loss from the femoral artery.

Sean Taylor gets a Mannequin, not a statue

As soon as the news came out, it spread like a wildfire, and there was no limit to criticisms. They felt that it was not the right way for a second-team All-Pro safety to get treated, especially when he was a member of the Washington Ring of Fame.

Meanwhile, few of them justified the statue.
