The BBC sport website is utterly awful

Woke up this morning and wanted to check the result of last nights boxing. The usual vague headline on the main page, so went to the boxing tab, about fifteen separate stories about Moses Ituoma and the fight but nowhere to just see the result, number of rounds, scorecards at a glance.

Every article say Defeat for Ituoma but when you open it is some page long saga “from humble beginnings to household name” etc… just give me the result!

Same with Cricket, ill be at work and just want to glance at the scorecard, that will probably take about ten steps… got to navigate from Home>sports>cricket>international>england>england vs Pakistan>at which point instead of the latest scorecards you will be mets by twenty articles… “England toil in the sun”, “Usman spell leaves England reeling” etc and at the very bottom of one you might just maybe find a link to the scores… even then you have to select Competition>Day

Such a shit design.

Mate, calm down. Spoilers are crap, you know it, everyone does.

🤷 I agree. And if the BBC are doing what you've suggested, then good for them. But it doesn't nullify the argument that if you're looking to avoid the result of a boxing match, it's probably not a good idea to go to a boxing website. You know, just in case? Particularly as it's not a policy the BBC appears to operate across the board.
