ESPN’s AI-generated recap of U.S. soccer legend Alex Morgan’s final professional match failed to even mention her, focusing instead on teammate Kennedy Wesley’s performance. This highlights the limitations of AI in replicating the perspective and emotional impact human writers bring to sports coverage. Despite ESPN’s claims that a human editor reviews each recap for accuracy, the absence of any mention of Morgan raises questions about the value these services provide to fans of under-served sports. While a separate article by writer Jeff Kassouf delves into Morgan’s emotional farewell night, it is relegated to a side menu and easily missed.
