I have a good example of this just from today. There was an incidents at Texas A&M football game where a Texas state trooper like purposely bumps into South Carolina players. Real dick move you can probably find the footage really easily. I was looking for stories about it and I noticed while the headlines of most articles about it mention that he bumped into them purposely. ESPN just says he points at them. I found that very interesting.
