No, KJ is actually an intelligent soccer man. I really like his takes.
This is the problem, and I know it sucks....but their talent doesnt matter.
It kind of reminds me of musicians. You can be the greatest flautist of all time, but it doesnt matter and the guy who sounds like he's strangling a cat will get your job if he puts asses in seats.
I'm not going to go into the entire world of the Pandemic with Government wage subisidies etc. but media is a hard gig to begin with, sports media is basically a Gladiatorial Arena where you fight against your Co-Workers, Your Boss, Your Fans and Global Economics all at the same time.
KJ is, IMO, the top soccer guy in this Country. Until we come to our senses and realize that Mango is the only one who really knows what she's talking about despite her despicable love for Barcelona (spits on ground).

As an extension of the competition in sports media, TSN/Bell has almost nothing for major sports at this point. They have just regional games for hockey, nothing for the EPL, Bundesliga or any European soccer for that matter. Baseball iOS on their competitors channels and that doesn’t leave a lot. They have the NBA, but that’s not enough to support their sports infrastructure.
And let’s face it, the world of sports highlights has changed. If I want to see the big play from the game, I’m finding it online somewhere and not waiting around for it to come on Sportscentre. If I do watch that though, I’m not interested in sitting through the first 10-15 minutes about Leafs practice and whether their third string defenceman might get a crack this year. I want to see things about my team and I can get that coverage elsewhere.
