Commanders Fan’s Obituary Trashes Embattled Owner Dan Snyder

Even in death, one Commanders fan is making his distaste for owner Dan Snyder known.

James Darr Jr. of Grasonville, Md., died on Oct. 11 of natural causes at age 67. In his memory, his children made sure to prominently mention his love for the team and disdain for Snyder in his obituary. In addition to describing his fondness for horse racing and Washington-area sports teams, the obit takes a stern jab at the embattled owner.

“He was a lifelong fan of all things related to DC sports, with the exception of Daniel Snyder, who he often referred to by names and in terms which cannot be printed here,” part of the obituary reads.
