If you're an MBA out to revolutionize a sports league, follow the Beer Line Method: go to a game and describe your idea to any five fans in line for concessions, and if they tell you it sucks major ass, buy their beer to say thanks for saving you money on AI match reports or NFT monkeys or whatever

This reminded me of the the old UK newspaper Sport First which took the Press Associations event feed, text commentary and printed it in full in the newspaper in place of match reports to save money. Often it ended up as a list of throw ins which was the most common event collected!

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

Arsenal Women haven't had a shot in this game since the 19th minute. Very disjointed.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

And if you take into account All Competitions for English clubs then their run of 97 matches is the third longest of all time without shipping three goals in a single match.
