What’s the connection between eruv and sports. Even in a no-eruv place, most sports take place in enclosed facilities, and many sports people might engage in on Shabbos don’t raise questions of carrying (e.g. basketball, ping pong, chess). THe halachic issues of sports on Shabbos pertain to bitul Torah, and occasinally doing something that risks digging or smoothing the ground, or creating an injury that draws blood.
