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!
Some sports is news, but most sports is not. Scores aren’t, trivially, but I’d say things like land use policy for stadia and immigration policy changes for international tournaments are. It’s a fine line and I think it’s wise to err on the side of keeping the sports separate, like in [email protected] , when it’s marginal.
It’s not a fine line. If the “news” are about normal things in the sport (scores, who plays what, who changes team, …) they go to the sports section. If they aren’t normal, they can go to news.
