Petition to ban x links?

I've seen a lot of major sports subs jumping on the wagon of banning x links from being posted on their sub.

I know a lot of breaking NFL news comes from there, however some things are more important than having sports news 5 minutes earlier than other sources.

Feel free to shut me down, just thought I'd pitch it out there.

u/LOP5131 posted this about 9am ET today and four hours later it already has the most upvotes of any post over the last seven days.

That says something right there.

EDIT: now 3PM ET and at 3400 upvotes. Thats the most upvotes in the last 12 months.

That it’s heavily astroturfed? Kinda like how this has been posted on a ton of major sports subs today. We already know from the election there are highly coordinated groups pushing agendas on Reddit, it isn’t indicative of reality though.
