@hewer_of_code@mstdn.ca That is really cool. 1 billion or so cricket fans in the rest of world may question the niche thing. OneSoccer can be a good competitor to TSN in the areas that aren't full on money makers for TSN and owned by Rogers or Bell. Forge fans were spoiled watching Mackenzie develop as a really good sports broadcaster. She did in game hosting at McMaster, got the gig as an in game host at Forge. She did a ton of podcasting with players and coaches at the club. She did 2 years of Behind the Beard, where she quizzed and shot the breeze with Bobby. Incredibly fun stuff. All while still at uni. In her last year McMaster, she got a gig as a student intern at the World University Games in Turin in 2025. She was hired right into OneSoccer out of school. She does a CBC show Soccer North interviewing men and women players. The kid's alright. As you can tell I am a fan.

    @intothewestaway@mastodonapp.uk yeah, cricket is way more popular outside of Canada. Despite having large English, Carribean, and South Asian populations here, it hasn't really bubbled up into the public consciousness yet. Apparently the US-Canada cricket rivalry is one of the oldest ones, although it's gone on breaks for extended periods of time. I only recently discovered some of the soccer documentary content on CBC Gem. It's on my list of things to watch. Now that I know Barwell is involved, I'll have to bump the priority higher.
