Do you find it stupid that the nightly news includes a sports segment?

Am I the only one or does someone else find it absurd that we include a sports segment on our nightly news. It seems like the news should include tragic disasters, impending doom, and incorrectly predicted weather. I think it kind of makes us look ignorant and/or simple minded that we include sports right there with our ‘important news flashes.’ I’m not even sure what to compare it to so people could see it’s stupidity with new eyes. Surely replacing it with sales at the grocery store or a cooking segment wouldn’t give it justice. Your thoughts?
