One trend easily noticed and expected Tuesday afternoon was Commanders fans’ reaction to the comments of Colts owner Jim Irsay about Washington owner Dan Snyder.
In summary, the hope of Washington fans soared instantly.
By the way, how many noticed Irsay referred to the team as “the Redskins”? This is the third season of the franchise not being the Redskins, and an NFL owner is still referring to them as the Redskins?
We’ve compiled several reactions from Tuesday’s news of Irsay publicly discussing the potential of forcing Snyder out as the owner of the Commanders.
This on-going demand that everyone pay attention to the ‘last two years’ is lame sleight-of-hand. Congrats on the last 2 yrs! Awesome! Now can we get back to the things from the 20 yrs before the last 2 that have prompted like 6 investigations? I’ve lost count. Is it 6 or 7? pic.twitter.com/jUGpg4oRrN

Jim Irsay has instantly become the most popular man here in Washington.

Irsay commenting publicly means that literally every single other owner will be asked about this at their next media availability.
If a 2nd owner stands with Irsay, that means conversations have happened.
Like a snowball rolling down a hill, this thing could gather speed fast.

The chorus of "SELL-THE-TEAM" chants at FedEx Sunday are going to be LEGENDARY. #HTTC
