Ally McCoist Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) I didn't notice this but I've seen it get pointed out on other social media that Kristian Jack has seemingly disappeared off social media. His Twitter is gone and his Instagram has been set to private. I know it could be nothing and at best this is just his way of taking a break in the CPL post-season. But it does seem a little extreme... Hopefully nothing serious. He's a reporting legend of this sport in Canada.

RJB Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I would think that any hiatus would come with some sort of an announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Gagne Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 In addition to being a broadcaster and writer, he is VP of Content/Media for the CanPL. Maybe he's gone dark for a while to focus on that side of things. Let's hope. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Still nothing? This is really strange. Maybe he's gone into hiding because he's our next coach? costarg, Shway and johnyb 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Apparently he did call in for Biello's post roster press conference. And he was also on a podcast about a week or so ago johnyb, DeRo_Is_King, costarg and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 It would be so sad if, when his Instagram is public again, it shows an American flag rather than Canadian. Anyone know of any good dual-national broadcasters that we can try to lure to our program? Preferably one on the come up and not cast-offs like Kurt Larson.

SpursFlu Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I think there is a lot more awareness around the negative health impact of social media, screens and on line engagement. When people take time off they now go out of their way to completely disconnect. People actually pay big money just have people physically take their devices away from them. KJ seems like are very thoughtful guy. I'm sure he's just on vacation or taking time off work like anyone else would RJB, JamboAl, narduch and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Here's hoping. If he's quit social media, I'm fine with that, it's too often just a cesspool anyway. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just been low profile since he got "cancelled". Saw him walking around the leslieville area with a one soccer jacket on a few months ago.

I don't think he was ever really meant to be on camera, but he filled in for a bit. I might be mistaken but I think he might have been off camera before people wanted him cancelled.

Ah, so when that guy on a Vespa took my phone, he was actually doing me a favour? I had no idea. I should've shouted out: "But I'm not on social media!" and then he wouldve turned around and brought it back. johnyb, BearcatSA, Free kick and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real problem is that MediaPro didn't just replace Larson who was a dick as a journalist and easily replaceable as a content director in the shadows. costarg and Acid-Tone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
