The BBC sports reporter is classless!
I am following the Ryder Cup on their site and just saw this:

2230: McDowell with a dreamy tee shot into the 14th. But what a shot that is from Perry - he kills it stone dead and he's a few feet from the cup. There's Kim high fiving as they leave the green, and Poulter looks like he had a bit of a word. Kim seems like a nice chap, but I think his parents didn't give him enough attention when he was little.

You seriously would not see this type of shit posted on ESPN. :puke: :puke: :puke:

1. strikes me as unprofessional. If the reporter wants to be a psychotherapist then
he should go back to school, otherwise shut the fuck up, IMO.

2. It's a blog
The BBC's "live texts" are full of this sort of thing. Frankly that's pretty tame compared to how other sports are covered by the live text service. Cricket in particular gets a roasting from these guys.

That women tried to say she lost because she had an injury and didn't even congratulate the Brit. As it turned out she didn't have no problem running in 4x400. I guess she found the magic sponge to cure her supposed hamstring injury in a day or two.
