Several people need to lose their job over this... Way back in the early 90s I worked for a large institution that did a mailing, it was a pre screened credit card offer... well always proof it and ALWAYS call the number before you mail out...  this did not happen... someone input the number wrong at the mailing vendor, transposed the numbers and we sent 500,000 people to a 1-900 number sex line... you know, the ones that apparently billed your telephone bill per minute...  

 

this did not end well...

I really hate the age of social media. This would have just been an easy “hey there is an error” in direct and clear professional communication which the league would obviously resolve quickly. It was a mistake. Instead you post it online for extra publicity as if there has been some major injustice done onto you. It was a printing error man, get off your high horse and have some humility.

Apparently the AP can’t afford editors or proof readers anymore. 

This is what happens when they cast their vote while getting railed by an opposing team's coach.

In his defense, this is an absurd mistake. If you are the maker of that trophy, and you screwed up that bad, for that big of a client (the NFL), you deserve to lose that client. They didn’t even get defensive player of the year right, spelling it of “theyear”.

Your forgiveness is very "admiral" of you but I don't agree with it.

 

How does a multi-billion dollar organization allow something like this to happen?

 

It's a failure on several levels because that's how much oversight something like this should have built-in.

 

What a major embarrassment for the NFL.

 

Apparently they need to sell more games on streaming services in order to avoid nickel dime mistakes like this.
