Ou então é apenas uma história muito mal contada

A ser como é contada, é surreal a brandura com que esta notícia do "I" trata o pugilista que, desagradado com a opinião (é mesmo isso que lá é descrito, uma opinião) de um utilizador do twitter, lhe faz uma perseguição à filme de terror. A história causou "muitos risos" (!!!) e, fazendo do perseguido perseguidor, enquadra estes casos noutros em que desportistas tinham sido ameaçados pelas redes sociais, quando o que aconteceu aqui foi algo mais parecido com o inverso. Se querem chamar a atenção para algo de verdadeiramente preocupante aqui falem da facilidade com que o pugilista conseguiu, a troco de dinheiro, a morada e foto do utilizador do twitter. Inquietante quando o jornal confunde, tão flagrantemente, o ladrão com o polícia.

O Guardian conta a história como ela parece ter sido, não chamando a atenção para nada. E parece que foi mais ou menos assim:
