Form both hands into 'A' handshapes, making fists with your thumbs resting on the side and pointing up. Hold them in front of your chest with your palms facing each other. Alternate moving your hands forward and backward past each other a few times, as if they are racing or lightly boxing.
Point to yourself for 'I,' sign 'love' by crossing your arms over your chest, sign 'play' by shaking 'Y' handshapes, and then use the alternating 'A' handshapes for 'sports.'
Sign 'your,' then 'favorite' by tapping your middle finger to your chin. Sign 'sport' with the alternating 'A' hands, and furrow your eyebrows while signing 'what' at the end to show it is a question.
Sign 'we,' then 'watch' by pointing a 'V' handshape away from your eyes. Sign 'sports' with the alternating fists, and then fingerspell the letters T-V.

Yes! The sign for 'sports' is often used interchangeably with 'compete,' 'race,' or 'rivalry.' The context of your sentence will help the person you're signing with understand which specific English meaning you intend.
A moderate, steady pace is perfect for general conversation. If you are describing a very intense, fast-paced sporting event or a fierce competition, you might speed up the movement slightly to match the energy of the topic!
Your hands can brush lightly against each other as they pass, but they certainly don't have to. Keeping them close together without forcefully colliding is the best way to execute the sign comfortably and clearly.
