Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, who is worth more than $150 million, made his feelings known during and after the Washington Commanders’ loss in the NFC Championship Game to the Philadelphia Eagles on Jan. 25.
Ohanian, who made his money by founding Reddit, took to social media to voice his frustration and displeasure with his favorite team’s performance. All in all, it was a good season, and Ohanian was pleased with his team’s improvement.
Serena Williams’ Husband Goes Viral on Social Media During Commanders’ Loss
Ohanian was very complimentary of the Eagles’ running back, Saquon Barkley. He was mocking the Commanders’ defense for stacking the box and allowing Barkley to break through and get to the second level. He scored on a 60-yard run in the first quarter of the game.
Feed your star on the first play of offense. Load the box against Saquon. And watch out for Ertz to have a big homecoming. Hail. @Commanders pic.twitter.com/WJ4nSQYyAo

“I think it’s a big day for Zach Ertz. I’m calling it,” Ohanian said. “First play get the ball in [Terry] McLaurin’s hands, make a statement. I am saying go big on the first play.”
Well, it didn’t quite work out that way. It was Barkley and the Eagles who punched the Commanders in the mouth.
We need an answer for Saquon. pic.twitter.com/VI3gLZ4miS

Ohanian called out the referees for their failure to call some penalties against the Eagles, such as an apparent holding as referenced in the post below. He said the Commanders must overcome the referees and win the game on their own merits.
Yes there were missed/suspect calls galore and they pissed me off, too, but that’s part of the game and great teams overcome them. We’ll get there. https://t.co/HO4fUSvQwJ

It did not take Ohanian long to figure out the Eagles would give them a large dose of Barkley. The Commanders’ defense just could not stop him, and Ohanian was left looking for answers.
🫣 we couldn’t find an answer. 3 turnovers also makes it very hard. Still, this season exceeded all my expectations and I’m so proud of this team. Congrats, Eagles, y’all won this outright.

When the game was over, Ohanian was a good sport for a guy who just watched his team get dominated by the Eagles. He took it to the chin and congratulated the Eagles on a blowout victory. While he was disappointed with Washington’s four turnovers, he was overall proud of his team for a great season which he said exceeded his expectations.
Any dads bringing their daughter to today’s game!? I wanna upgrade a pair of @commanders fans to join me in my
suite today. Show me in the reply! First one and my team will email you a pair of tickets to our suite. pic.twitter.com/mz7UyEeTpS— Alexis Ohanian 🗽 (@alexisohanian) January 26, 2025
Ohanian had a suite at Lincoln Financial Field and wanted to find another father there with his daughter so he could upgrade their seats and let them sit with him in his box. Before the game started, he posted the invitation and encouraged people to respond to his post, saying he would email the winner a pair of tickets to his suite.
Big fella has been locked in since '89 😤 And you better believe Dad wasn't gonna spend all that money on a real helmet and instead made it outta paper mache.
See y'all in Philly. Hail. LFG @Commanders pic.twitter.com/ZquSB6I2Qp

Lastly, we get to see how long this multi-millionaire had been a fan of Washington football. Here he is pictured in old Washington garb as a young child, saying he has been a fan since 1989.
