I don't really think that I need to change the Beeb's headline for this story.

"Manchester United has accepted a lottery grant of £30,000 to increase the health and fitness of its staff." Lucky them. The article goes on to say that Sport England has defended its decision by saying: "We cannot and should not discriminate against a firm based on whether it is perceived to be a wealthy organisation". Right.

They obviously saw the backlash coming. But seriously, I'm sure that there are a hundred more sports organisations, associations, teams or individuals who could really benefit from this cash. Like Sunderland for example.
