Bleacher Report Exploits Japanese Earthquake: Bleacher Report responded to today's natural disaster with the pure search-engine bait story "Japan Earthquake and Tsunami: The Worst Natural Disasters in Sports History." The story was subsequently taken down from the front page. "We are dealing with this internally and will hold ourselves accountable," writes a site admin.
Bleacher Report FTW in civility.

The next time I read a good article on Bleacher Report will be the first time.

Everywhere is exploiting this. All these asshole companies like Bing on Twitter saying "For every RT we'll give $1 up to $100k to Japan".
Just give the money and stop exploiting human tragedy to promote your product you scumbag corporate parasites.

Most of the suggested disaster sports tie-ins are a stretch, but I kind of like this one:
