Aside from the common TLDs (top-level domains), there are only 7 others
which have been APPROVED for use world wide - ".sports" is NOT one of them.
For more information on the New approved TLDs. see:
http://www.icann.org/tlds/
http://www.internic.net/faqs/new-tlds.html

I find it amusing that there are so many "Non-Approved" TLDs for sale.
These companies are accepting registration fees for TLDs that may NEVER
resolve... Buyer Beware
