I made edit to OSM Wiki that intended to summarize what was covered in this discussion:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:sport&diff=1854318&oldid=1772677 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:sport&diff=1854318&oldid=1772677>

"There are many ways to define sport, some of them narrower than one de facto used in OSM.
For example any definition that limits "sport" to competitions or only psychical activity is not
fitting OSM use. This would exclude for example {{tag|sport|chess}} or {{tag|sport|climbing}}
not done as part of competitions. See [taginfo](https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/sport#values <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/sport#values>)
 for examples of actually used values and list above for documented ones"
