This article provides a critical and reasoned response to the comments on the proposal of a Hartian conception of sport. The author defends a characterization of sport based on its institutionalization, motor activity, and immediacy, as well as its meritocratic aim of fair distribution of goods. Key objections are addressed, such as the exclusion of chess as a sport, the analogy between law and sport, and the role of referees and judges. The article also refines the scope of judicial discretion in sport, restricting it to normative gaps and regulatory ambiguity, while rejecting an activist application based on general moral principles.
