It's supposed to allow for discussion of things other than rationality (like meetups, existential risks, transhumanism, self-experimentation, etc.), but still stuff with intellectual content, IE not lolcats or football or whatever.
I'd like one completely off-topic area where LWers can talk about lolcats and football if they want to. As if we were a community of real people interested in getting to know each other.
Hacker News has changed, but there used to be a standard that anything sufficiently well written or intellectual was ok. I think that same standard applies here.
ESPN.com is not ok but David Foster Wallace on Roger Federer as Religious Experience is encouraged.
I also think random news stories are fine, even if they have misconceptions, for the purpose of having a discussion that leads to a better understanding of the subject matter.
Incidentally, I'm thinking about writing a post on rationality in sports which would include a link or two to ESPN.com. But yes, this is about right.
