On Monday, a photograph arose on social media allegedly depicting Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins partying it up in a club after his team’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Is this Dwayne Haskins? I really hope not. These women are all wearing Washington #7 shirts yesterday and that certainly does look like #7 himself partying maskless last night with strippers after the game. pic.twitter.com/BxgHdjuiCe

Now, a source close to the situation has confirmed to a local sports radio network that the photo is indeed of Haskins.
“A source has confirmed to 106.7 The Fan’s The Sports Junkies that photos circulating on social media do, in fact, accurately depict Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins partying after Sunday’s game against Seattle,” Chris Lingebach reported.
“The source also confirmed the time frame, that the photos were taken after Washington’s 20-15 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.”
Beyond that, the team itself has also responded to the image.
Do know the team was aware of this yesterday. But had to decide what direction they wanted to go. Haskins was fined for an issue earlier this season — inviting a family friend to the team hotel before a game. Violated covid protocols.

And, of course, the main issue here is that he was not wearing a mask in the photo as Covid protocols would require.

It would be worrisome enough to see a young quarterback go to a club right after a disappointing loss. However, the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic is running rampant across the United States makes the image downright disturbing.
Haskins has played in six games this season and has thrown for 1,285 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions. Washington fans’ patience with him was already wearing thin.
After this report, it seems likely that many of them will be hoping for a new quarterback situation entering the 2021 season.
