As a bit more background to this, see the changeset discussion comments
on https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/39809705 and
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/39812846 . I got a reply re
"football vs soccer", but not about any of the other questions raised in
there.
I didn't revert 39809705 but did correct the stuff that I could see was
wrong based on what I was familiar with, although some that I've left
are pretty questionable. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/422897831 is
a barely perceptible netball court on a MUGA* "currently" (at the time
of the Bing imagery) used for tennis. Suggesting that there are 3
sports that can be played at that particular pitch is correct;
suggesting that there are 3 pitches is not. In that changeset I did
re-add the sport tag where it'd been removed from facilities that were
only used for football such as recreation grounds, and removed the fixme
from football pitches where it was obvious what sport was being played
(not withstanding the tagging of it, as discussed in the other part of
this thread.
Changeset 39812846 made a number of changes to items that I'd mapped
locally that simply didn't match the local reality (in terms of tag
changes, roughly 52 errors, 2 "differently wrong", and 3 "may be
correct". I therefore, and because it had so long to manually correct
the previous one, reverted that and re-added the pitches added in it
(though some of those are a bit questionable, similar to the "netball
pitch" mentioned above).
Other changesets doing the same sort of questionable changes are:

I'd suggest that local mappers check the changes in these and make sure
that they match their sense of what these facilities are best mapped as.
Cheers,
Andy

it, often seen in a local park and primarily used by local kids for
ad-hoc football matches
