    This isn't misleading at all and there is NO WAY it was on purpose if it is misleading.

    I'm missing your point. Maybe you didn't realize that there was some other seemingly unrelated stuff attached to your post.

    Nope. Didn't miss nothing. The news has been pushing Trump starting a NEW trade war and now they run a headline saying Trump says "we've already lost"

    When he is clearly speaking of the past. They know what they're doing when they run that headline. People see it on their way to find out who Zach Efron is dating.

    It's funny because the other stories at the bottom just further prove what a bogus news source it is.

    Actually I've always like Yahoo for sports news.

    It's an obvious symptom of our problems.

    I give it two years before the headline would be "China claps back at Trump on trade war"

    Box scores are pretty hard to spin.

    Who relies on Yahoo for news anyway?

    It isn't even important enough for Trump to ever complain about it.

    Who in the world is Zach Efron? And why should I give a hoot about this person?

    I suggest searching for a better news source and saving yourself a ton of ulcers. If I read crap like that, I'd go nuts, strike that, I'd go Postal.

    "And between the regular season and the playoffs come the Negotiation Period where teams vie for extra wins by spinning advanced stats into stories that prove their team actually won games they lost on the scoreboard!"

    I don't read it for the news. I read it for the comments. Some of them are funnier than 99 percent of the comedians working today.

    You'll also see the racism from whites and blacks if you read the comments. It's horrific but telling.

    Zach Efron is an actor who I kinda enjoy in comedic roles. He's just got the most punchable face too.

    Where's that from? Not questioning it's authenticity, I legitimately find it crazy and interesting and want to read more.

    Yeah, I got it after the fact. I don't pay attention to other sports so I thought it may have been a legit part of another sport. Maybe baseball, they are crazy with their analytics and advanced stats.

    Oh yeah if you read the comments of these things and even on Facebook or something, people show just how dumb they really are. It’s fantastic.
