This headline is a perfect example of why old people should never text message. Can you even imagine the damage?

(Kidding! Good job for taking the extra step and calling it in. At the very least, you’ve averted future misuses of urban slang on our news pages.)

I wonder if the team themselves would’ve been offended. I guess it might depend where their nerves are.

A good test for the editorial team and management: would they have used that headline for the men’s team? Didn’t think so.

And, “meant no harm” is no excuse for poor editorial judgment. That’s bad performance. Management is under-reacting.
