Re: espn/google sports vocabs, first pass and questions

Paul,

My quick 2 cents on the Status vocab itself:

Hmm, actually, I think the above 3 would be some kind of sub-event
categories I would say.  It might be preferable to have a separate
SportsEvent property called "Category" ? For sub-classifying the
SportsEvent into a sub-event type.  This will actually be quite useful in
the Motorsports domain, as well as your general Athletic events as well.

The rest above do seem like more actual "statuses" and I think would use
the SportsEvent "status" property as proposed currently.
