Apple Sports: A free iPhone app to get you the score, fast

The Apple Sports app wants to get you scores, fast. If you know one thing about Apple’s Senior Vice President of Services, it’s probably this: Eddy Cue loves sports. He’s frequent…

My first observation upon loading the app is that while it supports many European leagues, it doesn't support the Champions League, so it's telling me Arsenal is idle until Saturday when it actually plays today. Hmm.

If you ever wanted to know what kind of stranglehold the NFL has over American sports, I've already received four comments from people about how a scores app doesn't show NFL scores, less than two weeks after the NFL season finished and six months before it begins.

As my story says: NFL and NCAAF will be there, they're just not there now because their seasons just ended. There are no scores.

@jsnell Was going to say the same thing about CFL, which I have set up in Apple News already, but then I realized NFL isn’t even listed, so I put two and two together. Still would be nice to see it to verify syncing is working, but I guess it doesn’t work that way. Oh well, gotta wait til June then. Thanks for posting about it!
@jsnell Well, it’s June 6. CFL season has officially started, and it’s still not in the Apple Sports app. Maybe next year. 🤷‍♂️
@wqoq I'm the wrong person to check in with about this since I don't control the app in any way 😉
