They didn't have the same sports we have today. They used the Colosseum for Mock sea battles, Gladiator battles, and chariot racing. They also loved blood sport with animals organs. They liked to watch men fight tigers and lions. And i can say usually they got entertainment out of watching the people lose. It was not very often the people won. The chariot races a lot of children were present at.

The Romans invented many different sports that were somewhat similar to what they play today. For example, evidence suggests that they invented something like soccer.
