Or so they say.
As Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post relayed Wednesday, the team wrote in a recent report that there were “7,845,460,401 unique visitors of print/online coverage of the 2014 Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Camp from July 24-Aug. 12."
Unique visitors, folks—not hits.
Steinberg followed that up with a number from the U.S. Census Bureau that estimates Earth’s population to be around 7.26 billion people.
Could this be a billion-million mix-up? Only an “N” separates “B” and “M” on the keyboard, after all.
Nah, let’s go with the more fun theory: Aliens eat, breathe and sleep Redskins football.
