From the talk here on juggling and private conversations with others
there are various 'definitions' of the key 'sport' in use by OSM mappers.
There are various definitions of the word sport in various dictionaries.
The Macquarie (Australian):
List some 20 various meanings/definitions .. e.g.
16. to have or ware, especially ostentatiously or proudly
12. Biology. an animal or plant, or part of a plant that shows an
unusual or singular deviation from normal or parent type; a mutation.
Of more relevance here
1. an activity pursued for exercise or pleasure, usually requiring some
degree of physical prowess
2. a particular form of such activity, such as racing, cricket, tennis,
golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, etc.
The Cambridge dictionary: 1) a game
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/game>, competition
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/competition>, or
activity <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/activity>
needing <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/need>
physical <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/physical>
effort <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/effort> and
skill <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/skill> that
is played <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/play> or
done according
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/accord> to rules
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/rule>, for

all types <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/type> of

activity <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/activity>
that people <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/people>
do to keep <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/keep>
healthy <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/healthy> or
for enjoyment
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/enjoyment>:
-------------------
So there are various definitions. Which one should OSM use?
I'll place my rough definitions here
A) A physical competition played according to rules.
B) As for A) but includes practising for the sport
c) as for B) but includes non competitive physical activity.
Thoughts? I don't want to get into individual cases, but an overall
concept of this definition for the key 'sport'.
