If you have been a regular HN reader, you should be already be familiar with the guidelines on submissions at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." So it shouldn't be surprising that these stories are being flagged for being off topic.
