'''.sports''' is a proposed [[TLD]] in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. The applicant is [[Donuts]] (Steel Edge, LLC).

===Application Details===
Many of [[Donuts]]' applications, including this one, seem to have been applied for using the same boiler-plate application in which the TLD is defined as a means of providing greater expression on the Internet and will be an open TLD without pre-registration policies. It notes its plans to adhere with all registration policies required by ICANN and its intent to have remediation and takedown policies clearly defined to fit within these requirements. Pre-registration verification will not be used and this as defined as causing "cause more harm than benefit by denying domain access to legitimate registrants." They intend to control abuse through "extensive user and rights protections."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/887 ApplicationDetails, gTLDresult.ICANN.org]Retrieved 12 Dec 2012</ref>
==String Confusion Objection==
[[SportAccord]] won a [[String Confusion Objection]] it submitted to the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), asserting that [[.sport]] and .sports were confusingly similar. [[Donuts]] was the only applicant for .sports and will now be in contention for [[.sport]] as panelist [[M Scott Donahey]] sided with [[SportAccord]]. The decision was made in part because the word "sport" is also a collective noun, making it synonymous in some cases with the word "sports."<ref>[http://domainincite.com/14268-panel-says-sport-and-sports-are-confusingly-similar Panel says .sport and .sports are confusingly similar, Domain Incite] Retrieved 25 Sept 2013</ref>
