Don't all of those sound slightly incredulous though? The reaction I have to those is, "I can't believe it", not that I had better post it to a forum as legitimate news, or be bitter about it the whole day. When I listen to it in the radio you can tell right away from the way people are speaking in the interviews and such, with all of the "oow yay, we don't wanna the keeds ta feels bad so weez tooks the soccer balls so nobody can score".
