ESPN Lacks Creativity With Headline

14
Vote

by SSreporters

American 100 meter sprinter Tyson Gay won the gold medal in today's world championships in Osaka. ESPN decided to make this wonderful headline:

American Gay grabs gold in 100 meters at worlds.

I have nothing against gays, but whenever a headline like that shows up, I have to laugh.

So, would anyone like to come up with a better (or funnier) headline than that?

This is a disgrace from ESPN. It should clearly be metres... Unless he found gold laden in electric meters all over the place... :P

I agree. I was shocked when I saw the headline. What exactly are they trying to do with this? Is ESPN trying to be "edgy and Funny"?

You know what's sad? I immediately saw the headline and thought, "Hopefully he doesn't have a positive drug test." It sucks that we have to question the legitimacy of every athletic accomplishment in track and field.

I thought I was the only one who had a slightly immature laugh at that headline
