What does this even mean?

The Sun have published a very controversial front page featuring Adam Johnson, the former Sunderland player yesterday convicted of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl. With a headline of 'Paedo In His Speedos,' the tabloid have published what is reportedly a nine-year-old photo of Johnson doing a fitness test in his underwear. Given the gravity of the charges against him, many people feel that the headline and image attempt to find needless (and distasteful) comedy in a story about a child being groomed. https://twitter.com/footballnus/status/705162651857510403 https://twitter.com/juliansheasport/status/705162692051472384 https://twitter.com/MUTiser2/status/705163994525507586 https://twitter.com/mrkbrand/status/705166442921066498 https://twitter.com/_NE28/status/705167684460224513 https://twitter.com/ecossesteve/status/705175100736335872
