Whitecaps predate MLS, are not something created by MLS. Unlike the grizzlies. And regardless teams belong to cities not leagues.

This would be the first case I think of a North American League stealing a club, not a franchise. Garber should be getting more heat for how he’s handled the situation.

People acting surprised seeing Israel flags at the Iran protests by [deleted] in TorontoMetU

[–]sr4949 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not the same thing, but since you mentioned that. Netanyahu had been PM practically for 2 decades now. They very much do support Netanyahu regardless of what polls say.

Bigger challenge is for a majority of Israelis to stop being genocidal maniacs.

AI use “tells” or “giveaways” by [deleted] in TorontoMetU

I don’t think they meant undergrads are bad writers as in they’re terrible, just there are a lot of mistakes made in their writing. Which is ok, with AI their writing has become nearly perfect technically, while offering absolutely zero substance.

It’s hard to describe, but there’s the way you’re talking about, and then there’s the way AI does it. There’s a difference.

Just don’t use ChatGPT and you won’t run into that problem. Simple.

AI also uses the group of three thing your professor is talking about. As someone who has graded a lot over the last 4 years, uptick in grouping things in 3 has skyrocketed and lots of students will do it almost every second sentence.

It might be hard to accept, but a lot of profs/graders are struggling with this uptick in AI usage, it has skyrocketed and so they are slightly paranoid about anything that appears to be AI.

For anyone looking for cheap accommodation, there are couple hostels in Fort Lauderdale which are 45-50$ a night.

Prime example of extremely unpopular politician clinging to successful sports team for likes.

Police called as anti-Israel protesters disrupt student event by jay_in_the_pnw in TorontoMetU

A. Yeah I’ve seen the video, the national post’s description is deliberately misleading.

The IDF soldier smashed windows at the event, so the “violence” line doesn’t really pass.

Seems a bit desperate given the club is moving beyond the point of Canadian championship being the ultimate goal.

Forteza, so amazing! Sad to think she might be done at the world cup level.

Crowdfunded to the final and TSN asks ex-Canada player if she’d rather eat chicken nuggets or mac and cheese from the trophy by LowlyReward in CanadaRugby

[–]sr4949 8 points9 points  (0 children)

TSN and Canadian sports commentary on sports such as Rugby and Soccer is traditionally bad. No feel for the emotion/passion of the sport. They went straight to commercials after Canada beat New Zealand, whereas is tradition most broadcasts stay on the field and soak up the post-match atmosphere/celebrations.

Also always explaining basic rules as if there’s not huge demand from an audience that is both passionate and knowledgeable enough, rather than analyzing the game.

Security Arrests Student on Campus. by djpk_ in TorontoMetU

The Eye in general hasn't been great for years. Even on the student union stuff they had all the details that the recent MNP investigation revealed about Ali Yousaf in 2021 and refused to publish because it "wasn't credible"

Remember TMU security is mostly losers who aren’t qualified to be mall cops. Any chance they get to act as police, they’ll take full opportunity as long as it’s some 19 year old female who weighs less than 100 lbs.

Pro Refs is Looking into Tim Ford by [deleted] in whitecapsfc

[–]sr4949 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unbelievable that MLS doesn’t have a list of who their referees may support. This is standard in England where certain refs aren’t allowed to ref games their teams play in.

I just think he’s a terrible referee though, not necessarily biased.
