It appears to be nothing more than an afterthought. IMO, it's an insult to Sean Taylor, his family, his friends, his fans, and professional football in general. Many more people would be attending if they would have known at least a few weeks in advance. And wouldn't you retire his number during a game that Washington is more likely to win without the risk of being totally embarrassed? It reeks of desperation, insensitivity, and narcissism. We continue to be a laughingstock, not just in the NFL, but in all of sports.
The media has been rightfully portraying this team and organization as losers on and off the field since Dan Snyder became the owner. Well that legacy has continued unabated so far this season.
