Motorcycle riders died doing what they love, says newspaper

Bad lede. Should be: Joe Smith, a former No. 1 overall pick who was involved in a salary cap scandal with the Minnesota Timberwolves

 

Since I never saw this thread the first time around, I never got to see this from the original story.

They make it sound so nice, like it's the Elks Lodge or something.

 

Impressive job of straddling the line in the lede:

A 14-year-old girl whose father said she loved running died Tuesday during cross-country team practice when she was hit and killed by a car in Shenandoah, authorities said.

 

This time the family says it:

75-year-old Navy dentist who drowned in Lake Erie during USA Triathlon died 'doing what he loved,' family says

 

That headline wouldn't have made it to publication at Cleveland.com few years ago. Ridiculous.
