The Washington Redskins inducted linebacker London Fletcher and tackle Chris Samuels into the Redskins Ring of Fame during Monday’s game against the Chicago Bears.
The ceremony itself was not without a snafu, in the middle of a 31-15 loss full of ugly moments.
Fletcher’s name included a typo while displayed on the video board at FedEx Field, having it say FLECTHER.
Some eagle-eyed fans at the game noticed and took photos for social media, where personalities like PFT Commenter did the rest.

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

Of course the Skins misspelled London Fletcher’s name during his Ring of Honor ceremony: https://t.co/R8MISdc3h8 pic.twitter.com/OLjqL9MOAA

Between that and another moment where ESPN’s cameras showed an employee stirring a large tub of Gatorade with a sleeve of cups, things weren’t much better off the field for Washington Monday as they were on it.
