Why is it masculine?
Sport is masculine in Italian (lo sport) because it's a foreign loanword from English that was borrowed directly into Italian during the late 19th/early 20th century, and Italian typically assigns masculine gender to English loanwords by default, particularly those ending in consonants. Since it lacks a Latin etymological root within Italian, there's no classical gender rule at play—it's simply treated as masculine through the standard pattern for English borrowings.
