Well, as a counterpoint, I don't think you're reading into it ''enough''. It was explained that the reason your basketball player metaphor didn't work was because it had no political connections, so trying to equate it to the other examples is inaccurate.

But, just for the sake of argument, let\'s say we had a guy who played basketball for one year and then spent 40 years as an activist for whatever cause. Writing an article titled \"Ex-basketball player fights for equal rights\" could come across as massively disrespectful or agenda-based, because it colors the entire perception of the headline. The layperson who reads the headline can easily make assumptions based on it, such as \"this guy is a just a former basketball player, and not someone who\'s spent most of their lives fighting for an issue\".
You see the same outrage when headlines introduce a black person as \"Ex-convict saves stranger from burning car\" when the article is about saving peoples\' lives. Or introducing a white mass shooter as \"Straight-A student causes bloody massacre\".
So again, I don\'t we\'re reading too much into this at all.
