Oh Canada! I am saddened. Former Canadian men's coach John Herdman's who's a mentor and former boss of Priestman also been accused of drone spying: https://www.tsn.ca/canadian-men-s-team-shown-video-of-honduran-practice-during-world-cup-qualifying-source-says-1.2154159

"We are exploring options to appeal on the basis that it is excessively punitive towards our Women's National Team – who were not involved in any unethical behaviour," Blue said.

Canada Soccer was held responsible for not ensuring its staff complied with tournament rules. Priestman, who led Canada to the Olympic title in Tokyo in 2021, already was suspended by the national federation then removed from the Olympic tournament.

Yeah ... when the higher-ups aren't monitoring staff and coaches, that's on management.

Soccer Canada deserves every bit of the shit they're in right now because they weren't paying attention OR they actively ignored the signs. Every one of those idiots in management should be fired ... NOW.
