The sport key should be used to indicate the activity .. not the 
physical existence. Despite what the OSMwiki says though various edits.

The physical presence is give by some other key, such as 
landuse=recreation_ground, pitch, etc...


---------------------

Tangents.

Sports?

Just as skiing can be either snow or water .. shooting by some can be 
taken as bow and arrow or guns ...


Pitches?

While 'pitch' is good for many playing fields it doe not suit so well 
for some e.g. darts, table tennis, chess.


Leisure?

As some have pointed out some sports are played for money .. and some 
for both leisure and money. It would be good to move away from the 
leisure key to the landuse key .. non specific as to leisure or 
'professional'. Yes it could create overlap of various landuses .. 
nothing new there though.
