In Ronnie’s defense — I don’t believe she’s responsible for the photo, but it’s still not a good look.
Ronnie Polaneczky wrote a nice piece about Gabby Douglas for Philadelphia Daily News called — “She Can Vault Over the Vitriol.”
Polaneczy responded saying she was “mortified.”
“It makes you want to bash your head against a wall,” said Polaneczky, “I’m mortified.” Obviously, the optics on this are bad, even if it is a largely harmless mistake. It’s never a good thing to accidentally use the photo of the wrong person in an article, especially in a newspaper where it can’t be changed. Both Biles and Douglas are worthy of being written about. Just be sure to remember who is who.
