Washington Commanders fans were left stunned when false reports of the team's legend Art Monk's death began circulating on social media. However, his wife Desiree swiftly put an end to the rumors, sharing a clarification on social media that read, 'Fake News! Lies! He is Alive & Well.' The fake news appears to have originated from a manipulated Wikipedia page and a misleading Google overview. A Washington Commanders fan page had posted a false announcement about Monk's passing, which was later debunked by fans and experts. Monk's wife also shared a screenshot of the Wikipedia layout to prove the claim was baseless. The incident has sparked outrage among fans, with many expressing frustration over the spread of false information. In a bizarre twist, one fan even claimed they would reduce their use of Facebook due to the platform's numerous pages spreading false news. Fortunately, Art Monk is alive and well, having recently attended the Washington Commanders event where his jersey was retired on November 2, versus the Seattle Seahawks.
