There are two types of sports: participant and spectator.
Participant sports are made for people who compete. Road running is an good example. In motorsport, there's VLN and 24H Series, for example. Participant may even have large sponsors, but they are aimed at competitors themselves.
Spectator sports are a show to be consumed by fans on grandstands and on couches. Competitors are professionals who work full time on that.
