Is this headline a bit insensitive?

ESPN's lead headline about Troy Williamson's situation with the Vikes regarding his grandma's funeral

Grave Injustice

Is that clever or a tad too far?

just wondering

Don't try to force pun headlines on stories about people dying.

Guess I'll never work at ESPN. : :

 

A question mark would have, at the least, numbed the effect a bit: "Grave Injustice?"

 

I guess that headline writer is no smooth criminal. [/cross_threading]

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Great job Doc, award-winning

 

Out of bounds. Know when to write the pun headline. This isn't the case.

 

Of course, this being a message board, we are not beholden to such rules. Here's my tasteless suggestion:

Dead Wrong

 

Maybe he'll file a grievance. (rimshot)

 

Here's my (lame) contribution:

Stiff Penalty

 

Good Grief
