Twitter Streaming API confusion

I am completely confused by Twitter streaming API behavior. I created a simple stream with a 1 follow for "ESPN:

and get this tweet ( see attached) . which is a retweet, but the original is "ESPN FC" , not "ESPN"

what the heck is going on here ? Why does twitter streaming API return this status ?

This is not really an answer but an observation. Twitter appears to link all accounts that begin with ESPN.

Type this URL into a browser https://twitter.com/ESPN/status/1164129284480483329 It will forward you to the original tweet at https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1164129284480483329

The same occurs with non-ESPN user "ESPNSUCKS" https://twitter.com/ESPNSUCKS/status/1164129284480483329

And also with XESPN which is a suspended account https://twitter.com/XESPN/status/1164129284480483329
