What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYahoo Sports reports that LAFC beat Austin FC three to one in Los Angeles, with Son Heung-min in the lineup. Hot Take or Not.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorKenji, you're first.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThree to one is the scoreline you get when the other team's goalkeeper has a group chat open. Nobody scores three on a focused man.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNot. That claim has no boarding pass. Nothing in the report mentions a group chat.
