It turns out the story wasn’t about not eating Wendy’s. It was about a change in diet. The new headline was the correct one. That they write these clickbait headlines is what got them in this mess. Given that they write like a cheap tabloid, it shouldn’t be surprising that they would also coddle sponsors.

The real lesson here is that ESPN should dump the clickbait and gossip headlines/stories and actually act like sports journalists. Neither the Wendy’s headline nor the “look what the famous football player tweeted” story would have existed if that were the case.

What record did he break?
