‘Epic fail’ was shameful headline

Excuse me, but the headline Epic fail is a shameful piece of derogatory headlining to put on the front page of any newspaper (Advocate, Page A1, Thursday).

Excuse me, but the headline Epic fail is a shameful piece of derogatory headlining to put on the front page of any newspaper (Advocate, Page A1, Thursday).

Our finest young sportsmen came up against an incredible Russian team who beat all of the odds, and this is the thanks that we give them? Shame!

I say let’s stand up and salute these young role models who are having to grow up as men and as athletes in the limelight of such biased and ungrateful opinions, written by someone whom I am prepared to bet has never likely represented his or her country in anything.

I think the headline should be retracted along with an apology to the players and the readers.
