Where is the boundary between news and sports news? If the text is about what the players are doing recently e.g. attending an event, does it count as sports, or news?
A1: The purpose of the text is to narrate sports events, describe athletes or to do an analysis about a topic related to sports as neutrally as possible. So I would say your text is most likely sports news.
A2: Sports reports focus on sport. If the text is about an athlete's personal life (e.g., marriage, vacation, projects that aren't related to sport like opening a restaurant), it should be annotated as news.
