This headline promised more than it delivered — 3 Comments

  1. George Weah? The striker for AC Milan back in the day? President? Gee I didn’t know he became a president of a nation. That man had won world footballer of the year at one point.

  2. I have to disagree with Neo. The article delivered EXACTLY what the headline claimed. It is our expectation of subtlety, metafor, and double meanings that is at fault.

    Perhaps journalism would better if it studiously avoided that sort of cleverness and just reported the news.
