BBC home page headline states that JD Sports is being forced to sell JD Sports — BBC Home page: the bait.

Yet another bait-and-switch from our friends at the BBC. What appears to be a cataclysmic outcome for JD Sports (right), turns out to be more prosaic (below). Instead of being forced to sell the whole company, it's only being forced to sell off a subsidiary, one which duplicates its own core business.

BBC headline states that JD Sports is being forced to sell Footasylum — BBC News: the switch.

So, fear not, dear reader. JD Sports will still be around, and will continue to sell sports fashion to British consumers who look like they'd have an actual heart attack if they ever took part in sports.
