I have about the usage of double negatives. It seems strange to me that an editor of a online news service wouldn't catch this. Read the headline. Why say 'Unequal Mismatch'? Isn't a mismatch unequal by defination? Does it mean it was an equal match? Believe I would have done that in sixth grade to get my word count up 😎

Well done. With that level of unequaled pedantry, you will go down well on here. But there is a lot of strong competition, some of our pedants are truly world class, they will give you a good run for your money. Speaking as an armchair spectator, I relish the game.

. . . right, an editor just can't not know about this 😮 🙂

It's redundant. It's not no double negative.
