Depending on the amount of oil in your sport league, a solid or a pearl urethane can be a very good idea. I finished up my last 3 frames last week going up the 5 board (OK, make that trying to go up the 5 board) with my pearl urethane. I should have tried that much earlier in the night!
However, on 99% of all sport shots, I would have to believe one is not going to "open up the shot" with any ball. Control balls are what you want, whether the shot is oily or dry-ish, you want a small hook because the sport shots are or should be designed to limit the typical wide open house shot. One normally has 1-3 boards of area, vs the normal house shot of 6-10 boards of area.
