“I'm not promising perfection, but I've never been happier, especially after I couldn't spell Eagles correctly.” Parker said During a press conference.
it prompted laughter from the crowd ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game between the Eagles and the Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field.
Parker's spelling gaffe, which occurred just hours before the divisional round game, caused ripples online.
The story reached 106.7 on local radio station The Fan in Washington, D.C., which sold T-shirts in Commanders colors with the message “FLY ELGSES FLY.”
“Please stop trying to jinx us by putting an L on the Eagles,” one person said. I wrote.
“How does she not know about this?” added another.
After the Eagles punched their ticket to the conference championship, Parker was given a week to practice the chant.
