In reply to Howe.

Chris Stocks. What a proper piece of shit.

Virat has accepted the defeat and is obviously hurting now. But you have to write a story that makes him look like a sore loser.

Gotta get the comments section all riled up. Leads to more shares and thus more clicks and more ad revenue.
All this from a newspaper that says they want their readers to ‘contribute’ so that they don’t have to resort to the nonsense that the other newspapers do. Bah.

Guardian headline: ‘India’s Virat Kohli unhappy with Cricket World Cup format after semi-final exit’

First paragraph: ‘Virat Kohli has suggested the International Cricket Council may want to consider changing the format of the World Cup after India’s dramatic semi-final exit.’

Actual quote: ‘Asked whether he would like to see the tournament follow the model of the Indian Premier League, in which teams who finish top in the regular season get another chance to reach the final if they lose their first play‑off match, the India captain said: “Maybe.’

The quote part is of course halfway down the page, where they know most of the comments section won’t have read it.

I wonder what “soft signal” that face might be suggesting?
