    Haha, I knew I'd heard of This and That before. I think they fooled someone famous a couple years ago too. The weird thing is that it doesn't seem that far fetched at this point.

    Damn, I was hoping it would last a little longer before anyone figured that out..

    The way things are going today, something like this wouldn't surprise me one bit.

    this is actually good practice for their future as a desk jockey:

    I'm on a soccer field so I must be playing soccer

    translates into adulthood as

    This is indeed satire.

    In your defence the first time I read it I wasn't sure either and had to confirm that "This and That" is the CBC's satire page. Personally I think it's in pretty poor taste for an actual news outlet like the CBC to also have a satire site as its easy to see "cbc" in the webpage and assume its real and once that's assumed everyone is up in arms. I suspect the Ontario Soccer Association will actually get emails and letters about this which while funny would be pretty damn annoying.

    It's amazing how fast things like this can spread and the uproar they can cause. I've now seen it here and on two different social media locales, each with dozens of responses from angry people.

    Ya, its a funny. Fun watching the responses though. They are usually more entertaining then the article itself.
