I'd prefer to keep it leisure=pitch, avoiding top-level tag fragmentation.
Refinements about the
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.
I'd say that your query tool has to be improved. Tagging in OSM is done in
key/value pairs,
and using elements from natural language for them is just to slightly improve
human readability.
Sure there are some deviations from the dictionary use of a term when used in
OSM, but tools like
presets in editors can cope with it.
