I’ve read the entry in the phb about sports.
I don’t own any supplemental books and wondered if sports got better coverage in one of them.

I want to make a disgraced pro ball player.  Kicked out of the league for juicing.

I paint the pavement.  It's what I do.  Check it out on Instagram, @Chalkarts

Well traditional sports still exists. Sr1e book Shadow Beat covers some of them.
Baseball is alive and well (cannot reminder whether it allows Augmentation though)
NFL is here (Ware is IN, magic might not be)
I assume soccer is here to stay too and like footballl might be tainted.
Sumo would be kept “clean” both of races and Augmentation. 
If Tom Brady’s a Spike Baby, what does that make Brees and Rodgers?

Most recently sports in SR was given a treatment/update in the SR4 book Attitude - may be easier to find than Shadowbeat. There may have been some minor mentions in more recent books, but nothing game-changing.

This might help.

It also lists the sourcebooks the info is pulled from, for what that is worth.

Also, there's a list of major sports franchises (and thus sports) stickied on the general discussion forum. Sadly, just the team names, no hint from what source they come, but it seems to be a fairly comprehensive list.

Spooky, what do you do this pass? Shoot him with my thunderstruck gauss rifle. (Rolls)  8 hits. Does that blow his head off?
