Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, recently reacted to a subtle jab made by Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels at Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold.
The exchange followed the Commanders’ impressive 45-31 victory over the Lions in the divisional round of the 2024 NFL Playoffs.
Daniels shined in the matchup, throwing for 299 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 51 yards on 16 carries.
On the “Kicking It with Dee” podcast, hosted by Donald De La Haye (known as Deestroying), it was revealed that the 24-year-old quarterback took a shot at Arnold during their post-game jersey swap.
For context, referencing Cancun—a popular Mexican vacation destination—has become a way to mock teams or players eliminated from playoff contention, suggesting their season has ended.
This tradition traces back to former NBA player Nick Van Exel during the 1998 Conference Finals.
Alexis Ohanian, a devoted Washington Commanders fan, later shared his thoughts on the incident, writing about the exchange.
The Commanders are now set to compete in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles, who advanced by defeating the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 in their most recent game.
Beyond his business ventures, Alexis Ohanian has explored various hobbies, including practicing golf swings and collecting memorabilia.
The 41-year-old blended his love for sports and collectibles by helping his father create a wall showcasing photos and memorabilia of the Washington Commanders, which included a jersey of the late Sean Taylor.
Ohanian posted a picture of the wall on X, revealing that he had acquired additional collectibles for his father.
The Reddit co-founder has consistently shared his thoughts on the Commanders’ performances throughout the season and proudly highlighted his accurate predictions about the team’s success and wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
