This. I do outreach to sport organisations, and there generally isn't an issue of systematic problems with Wikipedia covering sport poorly. Getting in touch with them just enables editors to do things better, to get better pictures, to provide opportunities for Wikimedians that might not be available otherwise, that help build credibility for Wikipedia.
