lol at people justifying this.
No.1 just because people make mistakes doesn't mean that mistakes should go unaccounted for.
2. This isn't a tiny mistake, this is a gigantic mistake. Putting the wrong damn photo next to a matchfixing article is mindboggling stupid, especially when it was Peterson charged, not Pieterson. So you can't even use the excuse of them having the exact same surname.
3. This would've done serious damage to his reputation. Lots of people merely read headlines and skim articles, and they'd associate that photo with fixing.
4. A mistake this massive would've had to get through several people to happen. 1. The guy who found the photo and used it. 2. the editor and anybody else who is supposed to review these things.
Its incredibly bad journalism.
