If Roy Helu fumbles like the Washington Redskins did, he’ll never be considered for such a prominent marketing spot again.

The Redskins chose to include Helu’s picture on one of the game tickets for this season, the Week 5 meeting with the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 14 at FedEx Field.

The only problem?

The Redskins referred to him as Robert Helu Jr. on the ticket, according to the Washington Post. Check out the link for a picture. His name, of course, is Roy.

“It was a mistake and we’re sorry it happened,” club spokesman Tony Wyllie told the Post.

Oops.
