Weather is hardly accurate news anymore. Witness the current cold snap in the US and the political hay made from it, not to mention the inaccurate "facts" and alarm used to frighten people and push them to support unrelated political projects. Hurricane coverage is another example. Hot and cold weather, etc...

Sports is hardly non-political if you wanna be that guy at Thanksgiving but there's a reason it's generally considered a "safe" topic for disagreement. I was making a joke but if you want to take it literally the scores themselves are actual facts that can be reported straight, and hence "news" in the sense most people use that word.
