I love Britain
You gotta hand it to the British press. Eduardo, a player on my favorite English soccer team, Arsenal, suffered a nasty broken leg back in February, as seen in all its gruesomeness above. Well, he's healing faster than expected, and might be able to play again when the season starts in August.
The Sun newspaper carried a story about Eduardo's recovery, but was not content to simply talk about his healing. Instead, they also carried pictures of him on the beach with his Brazilian girlfriend, because sex sells. Even in sports. As if that wasn't enough, there is also a big red button that says "Click here for a slideshow of the injury!" Then, below that, there's another big red button for a slideshow of other horrible sports injuries.
It seems kind of tacky to me; nevertheless, I'm a follower, so here goes: why they didn't they include this?
