Sports! is an Event resembling a Football game (Soccer in North America), with you and an opponent ship fighting over the midrow Football. The event can be won either by shifting the Football to the left goal, or by destroying the opponent ship.
The excitement of sports lets you start the encounter with 1 Ace.The Football will be moved left for every point of damage you deal, including midrow collision damage, and it will be moved right for very point of damage the opponent ship deals. It is also affected by Droneshift. On its turn, the opponent ship will target the Football with an attack from its central cannon, attempting to move the ball to the right goal, which will cause you to lose the event.
This event can appear in Zone 1 or Zone 2, but only if Drake is unlocked.

The intended strategy for beating this event is to fire at, launch midrow objects at, or Droneshift the Football into the left goal. This is typically fairly easy, as the opponent ship deals very little damage to the orb. While the opponent ship always targets the Football instead of the player, moving the Orb out of the opponent ship's attack *will* allow it to damage you. For this reason, having some amount of shield or evade is recommended for this event.
This event can also be won by destroying the opponent ship, which isn't too difficult given its low health total, or by removing your goal from the game via either Medusa Field or Catch. However, your first shot that damages the opponent ship each turn will trigger dialogue from Sasha calling you unsportsmanlike, and add a Yellow Card to your hand. This card is temporary and unplayable, and if you accumulate three of them, you will lose the event and gain no rewards.
Winning the event by destroying the opponent ship or moving the ball to your goal will give you the option between choosing one of three Artifacts, or obtaining the Sport Orb card. Losing the event will still allow you to obtain Sport Orb, but you will not be offered the choice of an Artifact. Losing due to bad sportsmanship will give you no rewards.
The Football is unpredictable, and is near-impossible to strategize with. However, if you have poor defense, and a ship with a low profile like the Ares, it may be useful for avoiding attacks as the orb bounces between you and the enemy. (Amusingly, it can be quite effective against The Dreadnought thanks to its specific, consistent firing pattern.)
