I'd prefer to keep it leisure=pitch, avoiding top-level tag

sport definition can appear in the sport=* subtagging.
I can understand that viewpoint. I'm not sure that there is any
technical merit, in terms of db
queries, to it, other than making life easier for somebody who wants
to find all types of sporting
activity in a given area. Where it does cause problems is for people
using the query tool (or
equivalent in things like maps.me <http://maps.me>) being confused by
tennis pitches, shooting pitches, and
the like. It's far from the only tagging infelicity we have, and
we'll never be able to fix it because
of existing usage, but I see no reason to extend the confusion.
leisure=pitch has never sat well with many sports;
table tennis .. a pitch?
chess .. a pitch?
cricket.. the pitch is the bit in the middle .. not the playing area
which is a 'field'...
leisure=sports_field might be better than pitch?
As for searching for sports .. some sports are leisure=track, some
highway=raceway, some landuse=recreation_ground ... best top search on
sport=*?
