Jason Wright’s juvenile tweet another reason to be embarrassed after Week 16

Fans of the Washington Football Team are still trying to come to terms with the club getting humiliated in primetime by the Dallas Cowboys.

As if losing by 42 points wasn’t demoralizing enough, fans were forced to watch their team (most of it, anyway) give up after the score got out of reach.

The defeat served as a swift reminder that Washington is still a ways away from competing with the NFL’s heavyweights.

Sure, a capable quarterback would make all the difference on the field, but the weekend as a whole proved Ron Rivera has a long way to go in regard to implementing a new culture in Landover.

Well-run organizations would have the self awareness to not bring customized benches to seemingly troll a more talented rival…after the same stunt went up in flames the previous week against the Eagles.

If you thought that was embarrassing, get a load of Jason Wright’s juvenile tweet leading up to the game on Christmas night.

Washington Football Team president Jason Wright faced criticism for his tweet directed at the Dallas Cowboys.

Come on, man.

I hate to be the “old man yells at cloud” guy, but what the heck is this? Santa and a snowman urinating on a Cowboys helmet? These are the antics you would expect from a notable fan account. Heck, even those would have the perspicacity to leave this childish behavior to someone else.

In this case, it was Washington’s team president!

Much like the bench situation, if you do something like this, you better make sure your team is able to back it up. Since Washington endured one of its worst losses in franchise history, Wright is rightly facing the music.

Either way, Wright left himself open to criticism, which was a poor judgment in and of itself. Given all the bad publicity this organization has weathered just in the past couple months, this tweet should’ve been left in the drafts.

The same can be said for this one, too.

Rather than owning up to the unprofessional tone of his tweet, Wright chose to lecture fans on how to process their feelings? Come on. Even Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne manned up and apologized for their sideline scuffle.

Fans should expect better leadership from their team’s president.

Can we even call this an apology? Probably not, but it still marks the second time in as many months (Sean Taylor’s botched jersey retirement) that Wright has had to come forward to address a widely-planned decision.

It’s OK for Wright to detest the Cowboys.

That’s not the issue. They’re one of Washington’s oldest rivals. However, a team president, regardless of intention, should never be caught disrespecting another franchise on a public platform, especially when the club he’s presiding over hasn’t been able to get out of its own way off the field.

Hopefully Wright has the wherewithal to avoid clicking send next time. Or, you know, there could just not be a next time.

That’d be cool, too.
