1. Click Motivation (8 marks) This must be a different headline than Question #1

a) Provide a different headline you recently clicked on.

Bills offered superb Keon Coleman escape route involving 25-TD WR

b) Include the exact headline and a screenshot 

Bills offered superb Keon Coleman escape route involving 25-TD WR

c) Explain why you clicked it, not why you liked it 

I clicked the headline because I saw the words “Bills, Keon Coleman, escape”. Simply put, I despise Keon Coleman; he’s a clown, and he won’t take his job seriously. My hatred of Keon Coleman, coupled with the hope that he would be released or traded, is why I clicked the link and read the article. 

d) Tie your reasoning directly to course concepts 

In class, we discussed a few things. The F pattern again comes to mind because of the way that it is laid out on Yahoo. The first words according to the F pattern that you read are as follows: Bills, Coleman, Escape. Based on the Target audience of this article (Bills Fans), most, if not all, are calling for Coleman to be let go. 

The second thing that ties into the course concept is the use of an odd number, but this sort of combos with NFL knowledge because my first thought was “no wide receiver scored 25 touchdowns this season. Therefore, I was naturally curious, thinking “who is it?” Davante Adams was the touchdown leader in the regular season with 14, so this has to be false or misleading, which it was. The 25 touchdowns are over the course of Michael Pittman Jr.’s career. Sort of misleading, but still technically true. 

Another thing we talked about in class was fear. For Buffalo Bills fans, they are afraid that we will not win a Super Bowl, even with the best quarterback in football, and the reason for that is that we do not have a good wide receiver. When we see this headline, the hope is that we don’t have to fear not having a good receiver for Josh Allen anymore, and we don’t have to fear another crushing playoff loss.
