Redskins Spell London Fletcher's Name Wrong in Ring of Honor Ceremony to Add Insult to Injury on MNF
By Adam Weinrib
The Washington Redskins. A proud heritage.
A heritage chock full of impressive names, standout performers, and postseason success...at some point. So I'm told.
During their Monday night battle with the Bears at FedEx, the team chose to honor one of those stars of a bygone era, as often is the case when downtrodden franchises are in the national spotlight. This time, the honor was bestowed upon former stud linebacker London Fletcher...at least, we think so. Based on the spelling, we're not 100% sure.
What a classy organization. @Redskins can’t even spell their new ring of honor member, London Fletcher’s name right. What a joke starting from the top, Dan Snyder #Redskins #HTTR pic.twitter.com/37yLwfKtFX

Fletcher really climbed all the way up from "undrafted 'backer out of John Carroll University" to "four-time Pro Bowler" just to be treated like this?
Nice going, Daniel Snyder. Sorry, or is it "Synder"? Might as well spell it wrong mid-article, if this is the type of dedication your organization has for its ceremonies these days.
If that wasn't bad enough, the 'Skins also got the final score backwards!

You're supposed to win under the spotlight, not lose! What happened here?
