Rather than actually put resources into covering women's sports ESPN is using generative AI to recap #NWSL matches and it's going about as well as you can expect.
For example, their coverage of Alex Morgan's retirement match fails to mention Alex Morgan.
The 'up next' section is also farcical, getting dates, competitors, and even team names wrong.
