For those who do not follow sports journalism, Matt Ufford is a sportswriter who mainly covers northwestern teams like the Seahawks and the Mariners. These days he creates content for various professional sources, including the biggest name in sports, ESPN.

However, it wasn’t always like that. Back in 2007, Ufford mainly wrote content for his own blog and website, named Leather. And when he saw the photo of Stokke from her New York City event, the blogger decided to use it to his advantage, in a way that the original photographer likely never intended. But that certainly did not stop Ufford.
