Washington Commanders minority owner Magic Johnson has quickly become a favorite poster on Twitter — or X — for the team’s fans. Johnson often posts a thought or two about the most recent game right after the game goes final — win or loss.
Johnson is often encouraging, but he was clearly not happy with the Commanders’ performance in the Week 4 Thursday night loss to the Chicago Bears.
How would Johnson react if the Commanders lost to the reeling 1-5 Giants in Week 7?
Well, the Commanders did lose, 14-7, to a New York team down several starters, including quarterback Daniel Jones. Afterward, Johnson kept it short and sweet.
Disappointing 14-7 loss for my Commanders to the NY Giants. It’s hard to win in the NFL when you only score 7 points.

It doesn’t take a lot of reading between the lines to understand how Johnson feels about that loss. And that’s a good thing. He and managing partner Josh Harris and the rest of the new ownership team spent a lot of money to buy the Commanders.
Johnson, who has won at everything he’s ever participated in, from college basketball to the NBA, MLB, WNBA, soccer and business, made it clear in his introductory press conference that he came to Washington to win. This wasn’t an ego trip for the highly successful businessman and NBA legend.
While Washington’s ownership may stay quiet on the team’s coaching staff right now, they are evaluating everything.
