Robot ESPN Coaches

ESPN is showcasing robots as professional coaches. Eyewitnesses in Connecticut reported sparks on the sidelines. Professor Daniel Lee of Columbia explains: "Robots boost stats but kill inspiration." Anonymous staffers leaked glitching playbooks. An ESPN poll shows 45% entertained, 55% skeptical. Trace evidence includes glowing helmets and sparking tablets. Cause and effect? The more coaching automates, the less motivating it feels. Sports are circuitry.
