This is probably not for all or even many of you, but if you want to read sports news (just the text, not the images and ads and crap), you can go to https://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?g ... s/1/Sports
It's got RussiaToday (it's in English), NYTimes, and ESPN sports feeds. It's also really good if you have to pay for your mobile data usage or are on a throttled connection.
