On December 22, in the NFL championship, the Washington Commanders beat the Philadelphia Eagles in their Northwest Stadium (36-33). But it was a player on the beaten side who won the match through the prism of popularity.
His name: Isaiah Rodgers (26 years old). The reason: he created a buzz by showing up on the playground in the American capital with shoes that exuded the Christmas spirit.
Tampa, Florida native Isaiah Rodgers took to the pitch with impressive Grinch-themed custom cleat pumps decorated in a decidedly festive style.
He did not disappoint the fans since, on the eve of the meeting, he had aroused curiosity by broadcasting a teaser on his social networks.
White laces on a red upper in the image of Santa's coat, the number “34” (the player's number) under a candy cane background, a Nike logo under a similar background, a “STINK, STANK , STUNK” on one side, and the classic “You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch” on the other side: Rodgers attracted all the attention.
And fans talked more about a pair of shoes than the Commanders' third straight victory…
