We have an incredible community of sports writers who have helped Bluesky become a meaningful place for discussing live events and news. Ahead of today's playoffs, we're sharing the below starter pack as just a sampling of names that have brought us expert coverage throughout the year.

Really wish y'all would give people the option to block all news from certain sports. 90% of my muted words are NFL, wrestling, or soccer terms and I just get more of it forced down my throat almost daily anyway, which I then have to go and add new words to my mute list

In fact, I've muted these words *specifically* so they don't wind up in my discover tab, yet you fucks have turned around and forced an NFL playoffs banner on my discover tab. The *very* thing I'm trying to combat with my muted words list. So thanks for essentially telling me that feature is useless

Posting my list of features/improvements until BlueSky finally listens.

That's right, I'm starting this up again since Twitter engagement is being piloted by MechaHitler in a Grok suit. Added some new stuff to my list as well.

Hopefully your 2026 feature lineup includes a few of these.

Can I just block "sports" from the official Bluesky account? I don't want to blanket block the word sports, it's impractical

I don't want to block the official Bluesky, but I personally don't like Professional sports. Or do I have to block all the "suggested sports" Bluesky off, reblogs?

Hey I tried Muting NFL, and it still shows up! Or are banners counted as "following official Bluesky account?"

There are plenty of channels that cover sports. Unfortunately, you only cover American sports, even though you're present all over the world. Also focus on the needs of the users. Things that are useful to them. When will real progress finally be made? For example, adding images to private messages?

By "football", you don't mean your "soccer"? So all these sports writers are American? Are you going to do one for the "rest of the world"? Not about the #WorldCup then?
Not very sporting, and a positively misleading first sentence, #Bluesky.
Nothing personal intended re these US writers.
