The Toronto FC attempted a lighthearted social media engagement, urging fans to guess what the players were listening to during training, expecting playful responses. However, it backfired when a majority of the replies mocked the team for their underwhelming performance last season.

Comments flooded in, expressing sentiments like, "I’m an old school curmudgeon. When you finish last in the league, the speaker should be sitting in a storage closet until you start winning. I don’t think fans want to see this, I could be wrong. How’s that for a wrong answer? #TFCLive," and "That’s hard punishment lol. This is a new season, and I hope they can start enjoying the game again and dancing with the ball," among others.

While some fans debated the use of speakers for training tempo, the overall tone highlighted the disappointment from the previous season. In a humorous twist, perhaps the team's attempt at fan engagement hit a sour note.
