Good luck with that! Looks like an article right out of The Onion.

LOL WTF. Clickbait at it's finest. They should've just gone with '5 REASONS SPANISH FOOTBALL WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!' or maybe 'MESSI'S NEXT BIG MOVE: THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE?! IT COULD HAPPEN IF SOME WEALTHLY CATALONIANS HAVE THEIR WAY!"
 
It's not clickbait. It's a Spaniard attempting to use sports to manipulate politics, and an American source reporting the story but failing to pick up on the nuances of European geopolitics.
 
FoxSports using a sensationalist title used to attract viewers.

So do all media sources. My point wasn't that it was a sensationalist headline, it's that the original quotes were just as sensationalist, because the guy who made them is trying to manipulate popular opinion against the Catalan referendum.
