usdragonfly: in this context, sumimasen means "i'm sorry" .
Kazn: no, it isn't to do with baseball.
One more clue: It is a sport that doesn't have a large following in the United States.

I assume there is a following, but not much of one. How about:
rugby
soccer (we have pro teams, but most people don't care)
cricket

Technically, yes, although professionally - as far as I am aware - it is never played al fresco.

Another clue: Think about the names, what they could represent, and think about the repetitions, and what that could mean.

Capture the flag? In the context of first person shooters like Quake and Unreal Tournament... red and blue...

Nope. It has nothing to do with computers, it is a bona fide, professional participation sport. Think about what colours could be associated with the musicians I listed.

Well, I would guess Othello or Go. Because of the colors Black and White. But they are not sports exactly. The only other colors I come up with are purple for Hendrix's "Purple Haze." But, nothing for Fleetwood Mac.
So, this is a real sport with sweating and exercise, not like darts or chess, right?

:: Hendrix was black, obviously, although Purple Haze does come to mind. Fleetwood Mac was a bunch of white guys, but their greatest hits album is green. Hmmm... I don't know... ::

Speaker: It isn't Othello or Go, or Darts or Chess. However, it is a sport that isn't really sweaty or very vigorous in terms of physical exertion. And you are on the right lines for Hendrix, but purple isn't the correct colour...
John: The colours have nothing to do with the colour of the skin of the various musicians.
Keep going though, you are getting close!

Hmmm:
Tom Jones:Black Betty or Green green grass of home.
Elvis: Blue suede shoes?
Rolling stones: Brown sugar or Paint it black?
Donovan: Mellow Yellow
Henry Mancini: Pink Panther (theme)
Fleetwood Mac: Silver springs
Hendrix: Red house
These are all colours I could find. And now I'm totally confused. I'm not a sports' fan, U know. Help!

I agree, this is confusing.
I think we need to concentrate on the sport aspect. Afterall, how many sports are there....
Maybe it is Sumo.

Yeah, 'cos then it would be: Red-silver-red-silver-red-silver....red-silver-yellow-green-brown(or black)- blue-pink-silver. I don't know the rules of Sumo, but to me it seems too much of red-silver.:

What about the repetitions? I mean, there are so much Hendrix - Fleetwood Mac, and then the others... I don't understand. KenYonRuKu, where are U? We need help? At least I need it...
