We've all been spelling Seahawks kicker's name wrong for years

The sports world owes the Seattle Seahawks kicker an apology.

Since "a little mix-up in college," the man commonly known as Steven Hauschka has had his name spelled incorrectly by media, fans, the NFL, and even his own team.

It's Stephen, not Steven, reports Q13 FOX's Dusty Lane.

While most have been busy making sure the kicker's last name is spelled properly, it wasn't until a Wednesday photo shoot with the Seattle news station that a photographer double-checked Hauschka's first name. The 31-year-old had never corrected the misspelling, and actually doesn't even want to be referred to as either Stephen or Steven.

"Uh … I just like to go by Steve," said Hauschka.

Sorry about that, Steve.
