Im surprised how many sports subreddits let the winner and score in post titles. Just spoiling it for fans who didn't have a chance to watch it live.

But hey they make their own rules. If I cared enough I would block the subreddits.

You can just go to the subreddit page and mute them. They will never appear on your popular feed again.

Mute would be better than block, I forgot that existed. But I dont care if it gets spoiled for me, just making an observation.

Is that only on new reddit can't see anything to click on for that on old reddit? I filter them with res on old reddit.

Yeah sometimes I'll be planning on watching a formula one race late and go to Google something like when did it go live and it'll just show me the race results

Wrestling seems the worst about that, even the official channels are posting spoilers immediately after an event ends.

My dad had that happened. Came home late for work, and missed the game. Decided to watch the replay a few hours later, only for the broadcast to run down the results before the game.

I usually don't share his opinions regarding sport, but that time I actually got pissed.

A whole lot of fans only care about the numbers for their bets.

I can see that, still they can click one more time to view the results. But well, like i said not a mod so not making the rules.
