Brian Merchant from the website, Spoil Sport, talks about several sports that cause environmental damage. He lists sports that use fuel such as NASCAR, skydiving, boat racing and any sport that gets a large crowd such as soccer.

Much of that gear is not made in a sustainable way, but that can be said about a lot of the sports
