For the time being, there doesn't seem to be nearly enough volume of posts outside of the topics you listed to support their own subs.
However, a lot of sports content is related to wagering. If people are utilizing lightning for sports betting that seems on topic, but probably not something most readers of the Bitcoin sub are interested in.
Ah, I guess that's where the idea for prediction markets came from ;)
Good idea, we wanted to have own posts types for subs anyway.
So prediction markets for a sports sub would indeed be really fitting.

It's such a good idea! I've seen several people propose it and I push for it whenever I can.
I'm not a particularly good programmer, but I do have training in experimental economics, so if you guys want any help designing the mechanism, I'd love to pitch in.

I bookmarked this post. Do you have a Github account? Then I can also ping you in the PR when I have one ready for review.
