these descriptions are misguided and should be fixed. The tag “sport” is about a sport, it is a property, and unlike the wiki says, its presence does not even tell in every case that you can exercise the sport at an object with this tag. E.g.
shop=sports
sport=surfing

The wiki is explicit: “ A sport should normally also be associated with a suitable physical feature where it is performed; often this is leisure=pitch or leisure=trac
