Again. <br><br>They posted their latest offering on their blog on Tuesday and it was believable enough to enrage some sports fans. <br></div><div>To ensure every child 'wins', Ontario athletic association removes ball from soccer ow.ly/oxkifCBC's This is That</div><div>Cbc</div><div>@karenlawford @cbcthisisthat @fifacom I really hope someone does a parody on how stupid this is.Mark Thompson</div><div>A Canadian former pro wrestler was among those who tweeted a link to the article without realizing it was a spoof. <br></div><div>This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Our future looks very sad. http://www.cbc.ca/thisisthat/blog/2013/09/03/to-ensure-every-child-wins-ontario-athletic-association-removes-ball-from-soccer/Lance Storm</div><div>@LanceStorm They are taking the piss Lance, that piece is satirical.Justin Civitillo</div><div>@JC_Kazama my daughter was in Soccer it as almost this bad when she playedLance Storm</div><div>Sports radio Tony Marinaro spoke about the story on TSN 690 in Montreal, but later owned up on Twitter. He was one of many who tweeted out links to the <i>This is That </i>blog, only to realize later that they'd been fooled. <br></div><div>Ok, okay, its a spoof......but you have to admit it was pretty funny. Theres a chance for Soccer in Canada afterall :)Tony Marinaro</div><div>So it turns out @cbcthisisthat is a satire radio show and they're the ones who published that article. cc: @CovinoandRich #GotMe #bastardsScott Thomson</div><div>@anshelMark ya, but confusing as when I see something hosted on the CBC website I assume it is real newsDan Levy</div><div>It turns out, some journalists make the same assumption. Stories about the youth league removing the ball from soccer appeared in the Washington Times and the Drudge Report. <br></div><div>Ontario youth soccer league eliminates balls, scoring to halt 'negative effects of competition' http://wtim.es/19mjuSMThe Washington Times</div><div>Youth soccer league eliminates balls, scoring to halt 'negative effects of competition'... http://drudge.tw/152Ts7mDRUDGE REPORT</div><div>Midlake, Ontario Eliminates Soccer Ball From Youth Soccer ProgramsTroubled by what they see as the overemphasis on winning in sports involving kids even under the age of 10, youth soccer groups in Canada...</div><div>Rant Sports, a blogging partner of USA Today, wrote a post about satire, as well. In all these cases, editor's notes added later admit that the story is phony. <br></div><div>Sit Down Folks... Ontario Soccer Youth League Goes Ball-Less... http://ow.ly/oC0Ln #RML #Soccer #Pansiesm shannon smallwood</div><div>Other blogs are writing about the anger and disbelief expressed online by those who didn't realize it was not real. <br></div><div>CBC Radio spoof on youth soccer league that banned the ball from games fools the Internet, draws angry comments http://sportsgrid.com/gfiueRick Chandler</div><div>Last year, <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/yourcommunity/2012/12/cbc-radio-bilingual-dog-parody-fools-the-internet.html" class="">we wrote about This is That's piece about a fictional Montreal bylaw</a> that would require local dogs to understand commands in both English and French. That "story" fooled mainstream media outlets such as Politico.com, the New Yorker Magazine, and NDP. And Drudge again. </div><div>PSA for those freaking out about the @CBCthisisthat 'soccer without balls' story - yes, it's satire! Remember this? http://cbc.sh/swFIB9OQ </div><div>Clearly, <i>This is That </i>is touching a nerve and the show certainly has its fans. <br></div><div>"There are days when I miss actually coaching soccer, rather than just being an #imaginationcaptain " @CBCThisIsThat brilliance again.Devin Morrow</div><div>Three of my friends just posted on Facebook one of @CBCThisIsThat's "news" stories. Amazing.John Kiggins</div><div>But some people think that a radio show that fools people into thinking fake news is real is unworthy of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. <br></div><div>I worry the arrogant "gotcha satire" of @CBCThisIsThat will erode the brand that @CBCNews & @CBCTheNational have built internationally. #prEverett Martin</div><div>@CBCThisIsThat Sorry. I can't stand your show. I wish your stories were at least funny. Tricking people into believing they are real sucksvhmillsy</div><div>What do you think about <i>This is That</i>? <br></div>
