You can just swipe the live activity to the left to dismiss it like any other notification.

You can also open the app and tap the game and then unselect the icon in the upper right that sort of looks like a stopwatch.

As others mention, give me an option to NOT show results of a given game. Sometimes some of us have other things to do, and want to enjoy a recording of a specific game.

Maybe a quick tap on my phone or watch when we get the warning that the game is about to begin, let me mute the specific game events.
