People go to watch all of those events to be entertained, therefore they are entertainment events. Simple really. Whether they are sports or other forms of entertainment, they still remain varieties of entertainment events, comprising people mostly sat in paid for seats to watch them.

 

But the point is that the people taking part in sport are doing so primarily to win, not to entertain, and they will do so in the way they feel is best... sometimes that will be entertaining, sometimes not, and sometimes it will depend on the relative tactics/performance etc. But you know that.

 

At the cinema or a gig, the participants are primarily there to entertain, nothing else.
