Just want a quick gauge of what the group feels about World Cup Coverage before it’s upon us.
I get the overall feeling that Lemmy isn’t really down for sports coverage in general and there’s a large dislike of Fifa in particular.
But if you all want round by round coverage, I’ll put up a sticky.
If you say “Not World News”, I’ll yank any article that gets posted and re-direct them to some sports related community.
Personally, I don’t think any sports is “News”, but hey, that’s just me!
I’m a football fan and wouldn’t want it with just 2 exceptions:
There’s a footy community at https://sopuli.xyz/c/football, let’s all use that eh? 😁
I need to know if the organisation of the event is such a cluster cluck as they say it’s going to be.
As a non sports fan I would also like to know exceptional sport related events like: Brazil 1:7 Germany. And maybe general status of competition like who made it to semi-finals and finals.
All that for to sports. If it was Brazil 1:7 Germany because ICE sent the Brazilian team to El Salvador, that goes to “news”.
Sport news is news. However most sport news is not significant enough to make “front page”. What would make front page are some records etc. World cup is really important event. For humanity not just for sport fans. It is on pair with olimpic games. While I do not want to know who won in some random sport I do want to know if some significant records were broken or other significant stuff happenig.
The same goes for celebrities. I do not wan to know what happened to kardashians. But I want to know if Melania Trump died of cancer.
I do not think “news” community is meant only of “geopolitical news”.
