Changeset: 40537602
Nottingham - changed 'sport' back to 'sports' on sport shops. Tagging defines what is sold, extending the shop=sports tag. These are not places where sport is played.

Hi,
please see the wiki ... it says "Use sport=* to specify more details of sold products, useful values can be taken from sport key. "

P.S. Don't blame me for the inconsistency with OSM tags.. I'd much rather use something like sells=* to specify what a shop/vending_machine sells.

Comment from will_p
I appreciate that there are arguments in favour of using the sport key in these cases. However, there are counter arguments of which two immediately come to mind:
1. As mentioned in my changeset comment, with shops it's common to use the format shop=x x=y to expand on the products sold.
2. There's no reason why the values included in the sports key tag on sports shop have to be exclusively sports. For example, sports=fitness;sport_supplements;bicycle_parts would be valid.
My view is that if you think it's important to include the sport tag in these cases, then fine, go ahead and add it,
but that should be in addition to the sports key and not instead.In general, I agree the tagging conventions in these situations could be improved and the sells=* tag might be a way to go about it.

Some sports shops sell food, drinks, clothing ...
But the OSM convention is to use sport=* to specify what sport (or multiple sport using the ; as a separator). I have started a topic on the talk uk list.
