Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Sports is masculine in French (le sport). While it was borrowed from English in the 19th century, the gender assignment likely reflects the influence of similar French masculine nouns ending in consonants, or may be related to the Old French "desport" (masculine, meaning amusement/diversion). However, the primary reason for its masculine gender in modern French is conventional gender assignment during borrowing rather than a productive morphological rule.
