(This may not belong here, if it doesn't then I'm sorry)

In Google, if I type in a sport (ex. hockey), then I get the hockey schedule and scores. Or, if I type in a sports team that is currently playing (ex. Boston Bruins), then it will display the last game they played in with scores and stuff. Or, if the game is current and happening at that moment, then it will display live scores.

I'd love to see this in DuckDuckGo search.

Source:

Maybe the official sports websites (ex. NFL website, NHL website, MLB website, etc)?

This can be tricky. You have to know where the user is coming from by seeing their IP address and decide what info to display. For example, when you search for "football", if you are in US, then NFL results should be displayed, in England (NOT UK), Premier League results should be displayed, in Spain, La Liga results should be displayed.

And what about UEFA Champions league, Europa league and various domestic cups? Should we also include them? Sometimes, especially when we are near a UEFA Champions league final (like now), we are more likely to be interested in UEFA Champions Leagues instead of the domestic leagues, whose seasons are already over...

And obviously the coming FIFA World Cup is another problem......

Then we should be able to tell DuckDuckGo our country (IF WE WANT TO). Or even better, just have us select which sport instant answers we want.
