defensemen Taylor Ellington

When writing about one blueliner, use defenseman. For two or more blueliners, use defensemen. I have already seen this error in 24 hours three times (one; two; three) and Sports Illustrated once. Interestingly, in all three previous 24 hours misspellings, a c was used instead of an s. Both are correct, but I'm under the impression that most publications strive for consistency.
