Lately there was a thread about the recent redesign of the Google News homepage, but unfortunately I can’t find it. Anyway, I’ve notice another annoyance with the crappy new design. In the Top Stories section, I’ve been seeing a lot of stories about the NFL. I don’t care about pro football anymore and don’t want to see this crap. I don’t give a fuck that Joe SixIQpoints missed a practice due to a sprained pinky finger, or that the league has suspended Jimmy Coqsuk for the first quarter of his next preseason game because he blew up a school bus. Is there a way to block certain topics from appearing in my Top Stories newsfeed? ---

I sympathize. Both on sport and the hideous blank-faced design. Anyway, log in; hit the **Settings** button — a gear-wheel at the top right; on the left column hit **Headline** **Sections** ; look for **Sports** ( 7 down ) and click _Hide_ on the right. Rearrange the order if wanted. Hope that works — I’ve never seen Google News before.
