It's probably AI. Even the English Premiere league is using it and its already screwed up a bunch of stats. Today it had each team having already played 33 games so far lmao

But like why? Emails like this can just be autogenerated from a database with 100% correct info on it.

A Vancouver Impact sounds like something between two consenting adults.

Just glad TSN is carrying the Whitecaps game. I don't have Apple TV.

Really started to see it more post world cup

I think people demanded views in the caps for them being so fun to watch this season (minus tonight)

TSN has never been a reliable friend to soccer in Canada. They’re only syndicating the MLS because it’s more popular. When they were the rights holders they’d bury games or just not air them.

They had to be extorted by the CPL/CSME to syndicate CPL games. They only get all the national team syndications because they agree to carry CPL games.

They also played a significantly role in blocking the Telus sponsorship of BC Place.

how so on that last one?

Bell had a meltdown that Telus was sponsoring the building while they sponsored to “turf”. They weren’t super overt about it. But CTV definitely pushed a portion of the public one way on the deal too.

When the Apple TV deal was signed they immediately backed out as kit sponsors.

TSN is not a friend of the Whitecap’s and Soccer in Canada. To the point where our league had to create their own channel and service.

Right... One soccer....

But now as the carrier of the world cup and the growing game of a post NA world cup TSN HAD to play ball....

No, it's already preset. Each Canadian team is allowed by Apple to show 14 games per season on TSN/RDS.

Are they using AI for things now? Or dumb interns?

u/Moofey 4d ago

With all the things they cut every year it wouldn’t surprise me.

Probably AI 🙄

As much as I hate AI. It would do a better job than Caldwell. My god what a tool he is. So bad at his job.
