I think the sport is a good piece of metadata, but I don't think it ought to be atop a hierarchy like that. If you split it by sport at the top, then you'd end up with something like the Olympic events being split up into many different categories when logically you probably think of them together.
You're completly right here. I didn't think on multiple-sports events. Maybe the sport should be moved into a tag rather than a category.

Obviously data about the event being recorded is paramount. But NBC's broadcast of the 2012 Olympics Men's beach volleyball final is different from the BBC's, and those are much different from CCTV's. Even within more local leagues the particular broadcast matters. For example NFL preseason games use local commentators, so there are two different broadcasts, one for each team's city. Actually that brings up an even more complex issue. What do you do about broadcasts that differ only in audio?
Broadcasts that only differ audio, I'll keep it together. This issue could be compared to movies/tv shows. Same show, broadcasted on different countries, doesn't have different entries. All keep together as an individual entry and you can enter the languaje. If this is a highly demanded, can be entered as a languaje type like this:
- English (BBC)
- English (CCTV)
- Spanish (Canal+)
- Spanish (GolTV)

Usually the league is sex-specific, but again you get something like the Olympics where there is a women's luge final as well as a men's luge final.
Competitions can be sex-specific and should be entered on that way. Regarding the example of the Olympic Games, each different competition title should indentify the relative sex
