It was beyond clear that it was an attempt to cover up this story. The ceremony for Sean Taylor’s jersey retirement came just hours after all of this information started to become public, thanks to the New York Times. There’s no concrete evidence to suggest this was indeed a distraction created by the team, but it’s not hard to connect those dots should one be so inclined to do so.

The timing of this ceremony seems awfully suspicious given how close it is to the Bruce Allen e-mail scandal.

Despite his short tenure in the NFL, he was a fan favorite and fans continue to mourn the loss.

Taylor, who had been drafted by Washington in 2004, tragically died during an attempted burglary at the young age of 24. On Thursday, the Washington Football Team announced that they would be retiring Sean Taylor’s jersey before their game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
