Crunching some twitter numbers for the #CanPL final. I don't want to believe it, but @onesoccer has a clear statistical bias towards Forge when tweeting about this final. And it's not even close. Will post more about it in a bit.
It's worrying enough that I'm going to dig quite a bit deeper to see if this is a problem on the league's social media too
The numbers are so skewed that I had to check and see if @Pacificfccpl had a social media presence. One Soccer and CanPL didn't retweet *any* Pacific tweets since Nov 29. Not 1. Forge on the other hand got a handful about the Championship alone.
@Pacificfccpl And to support that, the league retweets the Forge halftime tweet, but not the Pacific one. Someone tell @CPLsoccer to subscribe to @Pacificfccpl

Some detail about the social media patterns of @CPLsoccer and @onesoccer in the 7ish days leading up to the CanPL Final. Why did I do this? Because I've accused both of being biased towards Forge and I felt that I could try to quantify that feeling. 1/24
@CPLsoccer @onesoccer It should be noted that I'm not the only person who has voiced concerns about the appearance of bias by CanPL and OneSoccer. It feels obvious, but it should be quantified. 2/24
@CPLsoccer @onesoccer How to quantify it was the question. For this thread I've only analyzed tweets, retweets and quote tweets by the @cplsoccer and @onesoccer accounts. I did not look into the personal-professional account of people working for either organization. 3/24
