Lol, imagine if "sports" was part of the origin story of news as a concept.

I take issue with sports being in headline news practically every day, or multiple days per week at least.

I have nothing against people enjoying sports, but it's a hobby like any other, which I think is unreasonably thrust upon everyone else.

Where is the eSports news, or competitive dancing, woodworking news, or as I'm sure we can all agree on Lemmy, what about my old electronic gadget of the week news?

When I had The Guardian app, it was quite annoying that sports was lumped in with the push notifications for actual news.

I'm just saying sports news ought to be opt-in like any other hobby.

I'm gonna sound like an asshole, but that stuff isn't in there because the people reading newspapers don't care about those things

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I should specify, it's in the context of tv news and other headline notifications in news apps, or front page.

I don't read print newspapers, and have nothing against sports being covered in any news org, as long as it's not put front and centre where you can't escape it haha
