Huh?

/

The United States Men Soccer team beat Costa Rica in a World Cup qualifying match 2-1 in Columbus.

Sinclair’s WSYX sent a crew (or a single) person to get reaction from outside the stadium, about the World Cup coming to town.

One lady that was interviewed said how nice it was to have the game in Columbus and added, "We don't have any professional teams here.”

Here’s the clip.

I think that a member of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets might beg to differ on the fact that there is no professional team in the city.

Which brings up the question, why did WSYX use this soundbite? Did the Reporter/Photographer/MMJ not realize that this quote was wrong?

Usually, when you are doing MOS, you try to use clips that are relevant to the story. The station just made this woman look bad and I’m sure her friends and co-workers are going to let her hear about it.

Just saying….
