Magic Johnson thoughtfully shouted out Abby Wambach on social media Friday, but he made one big mistake.
The former Los Angeles Lakers great got Wambach’s first name wrong:
That’s pretty cringe-worthy, and amazingly Johnson still had not deleted the tweet several hours later.
It’s great that he thought enough of Wambach — the greatest women’s soccer player in our country’s history who retired this week — to shout her out, but what does it say about him if he doesn’t even know her name? It certainly diminishes his intent.
This has been a bad week of spelling involving Michigan State.
