Bumpy, just in case...
So much promise...
That's bizarre - faulty spell check or obsessed sports writer?
hooker, by any chance ?

Was on Reddit the other day. Think the general consensus ended up being American writer not getting ‘hooker’ in the rugby sense and went with prostitute instead.
I thought it was a spell check fail and they meant Prop, but hooker makes more sense, presumably they thought Hooker was a US term and needed the british term... 😀
That's superb.. Is it satire or genuine? I like that no ones corrected them 😀
There's a stray "hooker" within the article, made me wonder if it had been done as a joke
Jolly strange. Foreign journalist using google translate?
Yeah, failed regionalisation. You mostly see this sort of thing where one media outlet is tweaking a single story for multiple regions, or where they've bought content from another provider and are changing it for their own audience, copy-and-paste is probably the most important journalistic skill for a lot of places.
Still good though.
I saw one suggestion that it is a site that essentially plagiarizes other publication's content. Thread here
