I vote on deleting sports questions for the following reasons :
 - We can speculate about it, and anything we get from it will be based off of physics, not on biology, geology or the methodology used by science.
 - Sports from earth would be so modified in space they would have different names and largely different objectives and rules, making them different sports, not the adaptation of one. As time passes what once was football in 2 planets will be completely different as culture evolves
 - It is borderline brainstorming. There's no correct way for Golf or Football to exist in other planets
 - Most of the correct answers for those are "It would be just like earth, all you have to do is increase artificial gravity".
