fuego Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) I doubt if Orlando chooses his own pics for stories. Some editor probably. Edited January 5, 2013 by fuego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerSteve Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Not that I have any interest in defending anything LedButt does, but I seriously doubt he had anything whatsoever to do with the photo selection to go with that story. Whoever was the sports editor in charge of putting a photo with that story is ultimately responsible for making sure things like this don't happen, so even if DLed had chosen this picture, it's still inexcusable for a big-city newspaper to make this kind of classless mistake.

slamee101 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 To be fair, I think there's a good chance Ledbetter didnt pick the photo like journalists often don't pick their headlines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdz4i Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 To be fair, I think there's a good chance Ledbetter didnt pick the photo like journalists often don't pick their headlines.then the editor needs to be fired for allowing it to be published.

Guest facelessman07 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Can we really expect something better from a man that speaks with the authority of a 3rd grader?This may not be his fault but he should've been fired long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mattural Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Geez guys, they made a mistake. Chill out.Think about it happening to your family and that's your picture... Mistakes happen sure but seriously that is so pathetic and OBVIOUS it should never happen to a business. They have taken it down at least.

fuego Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 This is really much ado about nothing. Orlando reported the story, some editor didn't think and posted a pic that didn't go with the story. They took it down. Geez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrillapmpn Inc.® Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I don't think DLed made the photo choice, but his name being on the article, to me at least, means he signed off on it.People should be more conscious about what they allow their names to be attached to.JMO.

ghoticov Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Needless to say, this photo under that headline hit that button and I couldn't help but laugh. Horrible that he lost his mother and condolences to him and his fam. This photo is so **** inappropriate, I can't believe they ran it.No doubt. I mean, really? Who, in their right mind, would think to put that photo below that headline? That's just pure stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlfanstckndenver Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 http://deadspin.com/...propriate-photoThe satire and comments on this site about her passing are far more painful to read.

PapaJoe Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Check this...just reprehensible.

Mr. Lubba Lubba© Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 What Editor allows THAT pic to be associated with such a headline?? Seriously ??!!!!It's a job to them just like a job to anyone else. Especially in sports where you literally write the same exact thing every week with minor different details. They rush through the work without thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumFalcon Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 People make mistakes. Some of those stock image photos are very expensive. They just need to think things through more before pushing certain articles especially on sensitive topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Wow, someone put a lot of thought into that picture. What an unprofessional job. Condolences Asante. Stay strong young man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
