[Tagging] Definition of Sport

[Warin]

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!
