Grounds for a lawsuit? Would be fun to have Breitbart be accountable for their bullshit once.

Maybe Poldi doesn't like Japan anymore. I think Kobe was losing the recent matches.
Did the article actually reference the photo, or was it just an unrelated photo they pulled up?
Because I don't understand any of this. You see a guy posing for a photo, wearing clean & fashionable clothes, and you think they're a migrant? Or you think he's the 'gangster' ferrying migrants, so is the dude driving the jet-ski supposed to be the migrant? In that case the migrant is ferrying the gangster.
What?

They probably just googled a picture of someone riding a jet-ski and called it a wrap. You know high-class journalismn and stuff.
He's brown. Or not.
That's what it seems like. But the linked article is implying mistaken identity, instead of laziness when finding an image of a jet-ski.

To sue you have to show that you have suffered damages. Thats why every lawsuit has "mental anguish" even when the offense is something trivial. Otherwise it gets tossed out of court.

A-ha!
Podolski's the guy in the back. He's half German, half Polish.

That's World Cup winner Lukas Podolski for you Breitbart.
First letting in all the foreigners in the premier league and now Europe, when will Arsene Wenger's insidious plan to destroy British footballers be stopped?!?
Should have been first post.

the title seems way too based off the picture for this to be the case

Even if they not recognize him as a soccer player the picture doesn't make any sense. They claim in the article that white people smuggle immigrants (black people) on jet-skis across the ocean but on the picture the black guy is actually transporting the white guy so it just doesn't make any fucking sense at all.

Even LIEBERALS know that brown people are only good as servants.

They actually have once or twice already, especially when they edited the video to make Shirley Sherrod look like a racist.
The article was written by AFP and reprinted on Breitbart. Same article on yahoo news: https://www.yahoo.com/news/spanish-police-crack-gang-moving-migrants-jet-skis-151352697.html
Breitbart chose that image with Podolski because they're idiots. The image on their article has now been replaced with a stock photo by AP and they have added this note:

Yeah, if anything 'jet ski crack gangster' sounds rad. If someone mistook me for one, I wouldn't correct them.

Breitbart chose that image because it has a brown person in it and the so-called "migrant" appears to be flouting the law and celebrating. They chose it to be inflammatory to their audience.

Oh my
Facebook post by the Foreign Office. The text reads:
"Open house at the Foreign Office: We're glad to have you with us on 26 and 27 August, whether you come from Berlin, Hamburg, Munich or Cologne (illustration photo)!
[...]
(Photo description: The photo shows Lukas Podolski as a passenger on a jet-ski. It was taken on 10 June 2014 just before the football World cup in Brazil. If you want to visit us by jet-ski, please use the pier 'Fischerinsel'.)"

"Gaffe"? That implies it was a mistake. Generating fake news at their efficiency takes effort and purpose.
What's better is he has those he traffic do all the driving.
