I hate to be that guy because I loved Sean just like the rest of us but they need to let it rest now. Unfortunately people are shot and killed in this country daily, the only reason why this team keeps doing this is ALL SNYDER trying to win over the fan base one last time on his way out.

As for the manikin or whatever that is , it looks like shit.. Literally looks like something from Dicks sporting goods. The Jersey is a NIKE jersey and the pants are Reebok LMAO, that is embarrassing. I get it they prob don't have the game worn jersey but damn at least have Reebok make you one...

Overall though this needs to be put to rest after this season.

Yep.

Big facts. I'm not a fan of the memorial, I mean just do the right fucking thing and have a statue built if it really means that much to you, but I can't hate on it too much if his family likes it. That's what really matters.

In the end though, you are right. Snyder is trying to appease an apathetic fanbase by grasping the easiest straws, which is playing on our love for ST21.

This team is 6-1 in its' last 7 and there were so many Falcons fans in the stadium last week you could hear cheers when they had a big play.

That is the clearest indication yet how loathed Snyder is. His team is playing quite well and is entertaining. Attendance still is terrible and road teams' fans come to stadium abundantly. Atlanta doesn't even have a big fanbase. Attendance in the future will be interesting for all things considered. I know the weather sucked yesterday but expected far more Commanders' fans. Wrong.

Re: ST memorial “statue”

how can you put something like that up and be serious? A Dicks model actually looks way better.

Those fuckers need to seriously STOP with the Sean Taylor stuff. If I were the family I would get a cease and desist against the team demanding no more honoring Sean. Classless losers.

Well it's exactly what the Taylor family asked for but apparently you guys think your opinions matter more.

If they asked for it fine. It's the execution or lack there of that is so embarrassing.

They wanted a mannequin? If you provide the link, I'll gladly provide the apology.

Looks like something a crazy fan would have in their basement

Re: ST memorial “statue”

I saw on the pregame shows at statue, it was hard to tell what it looked like, but after seeing these pictures, I am appalled at how terrible it is, it’s shit like this that makes me not even want to root for this team.Somebody please please take Snyder away from us

JFC they can't even set up a proper system to lift the curtain and have a decent unveiling...

Some people have better settings for their weddings, and I'm not talking billionaires...

If davy is correct about the Taylor family's wish then the team did the right thing by honoring their wish, regardless of what we all think about it.

I find it real hard to believe the Taylor family said we want a faceless wire mannequin with soccer cleats and a mismatched uniform, but what do I know? I can’t find any link that says they wanted that.

What I do find is that they were involved throughout the process. However that doesn’t mean they had artistic control of the mannequin. Im sure had someone said guys we have commissioned this artist to do a bronze statue of Sean it would not have been met with “no we want a faceless mannequin in soccer cleats with a reebok shirt and nike pants. “.
