American football team lost because Microsoft Surface tablets broke

The team lost the match in the US National Football League due to the fact that its members broke the Microsoft Surface tablet, which they use to study the tactics of the opposing team. At least these tablets are no longer called ipads.

Microsoft representatives reported that the problem was not in the tablets, but in the network to which they were connected.



For many years, coaches and American football players have been using photographs to study the tactics of their opponents and to think out their own actions on the field. Now they have tablets for this - Surface became the official NFL gadgets thanks to a contract with Microsoft.

The players of the Patriots team in one of the matches stopped working tablets, while their opponents quietly continued to use them. Microsoft blames network problems, not the devices themselves.

The Verge writes that earlier the team was accused of interfering with the headsets of opponents used for communication. Karma?

The company spent $ 400 million on an advertising campaign for Microsoft Surface tablets, but the announcers stubbornly continued to call them iPads. During one of the matches, the announcer joked about the assistant coach: “see how long he learns to scroll the pictures on the ipad”.
