Canadian women’s soccer coach Bev Priestman removed herself from Thursday’s Olympic Games opener against New Zealand and two team staff members were sent home after two drone incidents. Priestman speaks about the decision, how much of a distraction this is for the players, if she’s expecting more sanctions to come down, and more.

I imagine a number of teams in all sports are getting rid of their drones. Why do they need a drone? The listen is don't cheat or don't get caught.
I'm proud of the players, but I shame of the coach, don't talk too much!
Not only the coach herself, Canada also affected the value of the sport!
I wonder what Christine Sinclair is up to 🤔?? …. cause this coach is done .
Blah blah blah…time to step down, not step back, Bev.
they need to do the right thing, the whole team should withdraw, this is gross.
She sounds like a fuckig politician, terrible. Fire her and a lifetime ban from attending team Canada matches
……The players are not Cheaters but unfortunately our coaches are Cheaters. Spying is not acceptable.
It tells the world Canada loves to Spy on other countries. How low can you get ? I feel sorry for the players. But our coaches have given Canada a black eye on the world's stage. We are no better than the Stazi or the KGB. Other nations now know you cannot trust Canada. Honest to your face and spying behind your back. ….
How both Canadian coaches can cheat to there players and there country. Soccer is a beautiful game and its sad that the Canadian coaches tarnish the game. Canadian soccer should be over hauled.
Cheater!
Its a Drone big deal I dont think tjey got any top secret info that would benifit them feom seeing ppl practicing. Whatever
Lock her up in jail !
A typical Canadian. Cheater, they are all the same lol in Canada.
The cheaters have no morals or ethics. The team should be disqualified and escorted from the Olympic venue directly to the airport.
She really thinks very highly of herself… Her leadership, sportsmanship, etc. Unfortunately for her, she is now unemployed… or will be in a few weeks.
why they did not used satellite …..?
🎉🎉🎉
Answer the question Bev!
What a crock of shite. Won't have her for a year, won't have a need for her after that!
How embarrassing.
I just can’t understand how anybody would think this was okay? People have learned to be such robots that they absolutely can’t think … we are losing the ability to think. Somebody please respond and tell me any conceivable way that something like this could happen? If more than one person was involved then how could they all be that stupid?
Bizarre and disappointing. Why want to cheat? Uncecessary. Dishonerable. Fire all coaches including her.
Canada never shoulda hired Meghan Rapinoe as Womens soccer coach. This is more embarrassing than her haircut..
Blablablabla they are doing it for years! Never get punished I’m glad she’s gone. And make your excuse to all the other countries you were spying on ons. And stop talking of leadership.
What the hell is that THING?? LGBTQR253SCGFTE???
