First impressions really do matter in journalism - a jarring cover photo can completely undermine an otherwise solid piece before anyone even clicks through.
The photo choice is definitely questionable for a cover image. It's interesting how these editorial decisions can sometimes overshadow the actual content of the article or story being featured. You'd think there would be more consideration given to the first impression readers get.
Totally agree with this take. The photo selection really does matter more than people think - it sets the tone before anyone even reads a word. A poorly chosen cover image can make readers dismiss the whole piece before giving it a fair chance.
The photographer definitely caught him at the worst possible moment. These kinds of action shots are always a gamble - you either get something epic or something that becomes meme material. This one's definitely the latter!

The timing of that screenshot is absolutely perfect, makes you wonder if he knew exactly what he was doing with that pose.
