Local sentiment

This sign refers to the possibility (and hope of fans) that Dan Snyder, the current owner of the Washington Commanders football team, will sell the team and get out of everybody’s lives. His ownership has been controversial, with accusations of a toxic workplace culture leading to a congressional investigation, financial improprieties and the lack of success of the team. He is also unpopular with the owners of other National Football League teams, who are considering removing him from ownership if he doesn’t sell.

We thought it was funny to see the sign on a street near our house. The Commanders used to be the Washington Redskins, thus the feather (referring to Native Americans) on the sign.

No doubt there are strong feelings regarding Dan Snyder and the Commanders. A clear message on what looks like a beautiful spring day. Wonderful clarity in two ways for this capture. V+

Until I read on, I didn't realize which team the Commanders are... Wonder how many people recognize the new name. I like how in your area that people aren't afraid to express their various opinions. The sign matches the tree behind it & thus makes this an attractive image.

A very color coordinated neighborhood. I wonder if the Chiefs and Braves will change their names? V

:) It's been said already, but the colors of the sign and the tree are really eye-catching and matching. V

I like the sign and tree blossoms sharing the color combination.

Ha! I know the feeling. The Bills almost got sold to tRump and Bon Jovi several years ago. Thank God they didn't!

Love the colors! Just matching well! V

Well the colorful sign matches the color of the tree nearby. I didn't realize at first who the commanders were. Guess I don't watch enough football. V

These owners are all about one thing. But cool find and colors!

at least the sign's colour reflects the season, being in harmony with the Spring blossoms..

My eye was drawn of course to the flowering tree behind the sign! We're still facing more snow next week.

Nice shot, Helen. Seems like the country is full of crooks.
