The data I retrieved was found in Act II and Act IV. The context at which Shakespeare the particular theme of sport is when they are referring to the game of love.
The data I retrieved supports my first thoughts on Shakespeare's obsessive use of the particular image doesn't necessarily relate back to my initial thought about sport. When I hear the word, I thought of physical activity and competition; but reading more into it, Shakespeare uses figuration to support sport into a game of love and a competition between people to win the heart of another.
