I would not be worried about excluding some things from a clarified definition 
of sport.

I would have a new key for those excluded .. say 'recreation' that can be non 
competitive, non physical.

Renders can then chose to show them the same way as 'sports' or not - their 
choice, at the moment they don't have that information.

But first .. the definition of 'sport' needs clarification ... what should be 
the OSM definition of sport?

Should it exclude non competitive things .. like riding a bicycle to 
work/shops? Or should it include leisure activities like swimming at a beach?

I would chose type B - competition and practice for competition only.


Note that sport is a sub tag for a place/area that has the infrastructure to 
support that sport, the sport tag says what sport is supported at that tagged 
place e.g. a pitch, recreation_ground, etc. As such the sport tag does not in 
it self define the place. A problem is that some sport tags are used without 
that infrastructure support tag .. probably because there is no permanent 
infrastructure support there... if those should be in OSM or not I'll leave for 
another discussion!

of word "sport"

it does fit the definition of sport being competitive, even if no competitions 
are held there.
