Suggestions:

: There shall be an alphabetical list of all sports. There shall also be an organization of sports by categories.
: There shall be a listing of sport competitions, that involve multiple sports (e.g. the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, the Maccabiah Games, the Good Will Games, etc.) -- competitions for particular sports, or groups of sports, would be better located on the page for that sport.
: The lists of competitions should be organized along the lines of what area of the world they involve -- i.e. are they global (e.g. the Olympics), restricted to a particular region of the world (Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, etc.), or restricted to a particular country (in which case, they could be placed under under a section on the sport in that particular country.)
: These lists shall be either on the main Sports page, or if they become too long on separate pages linked to by the main page.

Other random comments: Judging by the amount of sports fans out there in the world, (which I must say I am not one of them), it musn't be too hard to find people willing to write near endless quantities of material on sports. -- Simon J Kissane

: you might think so, but not many of them have found their way to wikipedia yet, particularly for the more obscure sports. I've written a whole bunch of initial articles on various less common sports, but nobody else has picked up much slack yet --Robert Merkel

The WikiProject idea is still in the proposal stage. Please read ManningBartlett/WikiProject for further information.
