Live sports seems to have a computer generate closed captioning.
This is correct. Generally, live sports broadcasts rely on voice recognition software. You end up getting some very odd captions from time to time.
 
Yep — current voice recognition software is very good with common nouns. Proper nouns (e.g., names, etc.), however, are pretty much a crap shoot. Gets pretty entertaining.
