I saw that too, but I think it was staffers who flew the drones. Regardless an embarrassment for the Canadian team. Priestman is sitting out the opener.

I think this is an embarrassment for the Canadian soccer team but there are many other athletes who are not involved in soccer and this incident has nothing to do with them.

"Systems are in place to allow us to very quickly intercept [drones] and arrest their operators."

There's the A-word again.
