There are only two reasons this should happen.

1. You googled the sports team

2. You have a sports team setup in the Google Now settings

On the card there should be a button in the top right to let you tell the system you don't want to see sports results too.

> 1. You googled the sports team

And this is my problem with Google Now. The concept isn't useful to me. Just because I googled a sports team once doesn't mean I constantly want updates about that team. Just because I looked up a company's stock one day doesn't mean I want to know what the stock is doing every day. Google Now doesn't seem to understand that.

Granted, the flight updates are a really cool feature. But the service as a whole is too noisy to be generally useful.
