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 very much like sports. They belong in sports-specific communities though, not news communities, unless they’re actually making news. Like how FIFA is under investigation for fixing ticket prices. Or how the DOJ launched an investigation into FIFA for bribery but were dismissed by a judge saying bribery isn’t a priority of Trump’s administration. Or how Mexico will host the Iranian team because the US won’t let them stay overnight.

    Even those more actual-news stories belong in world cup communities for now due to the volume of stories coming out. I would strongly prefer this community not become 25%+ world cup posts for the duration of the cup.
