I love sport, but for me it's the other way around. Films in particular can have so much going on on the screen, and often put so much effort into adding all the small flourishes, things you can miss with lower resolutions. Nature documentaries arguably benefit the most of the real life, non-SFX programming, they certainly get used to sell the picture detail in shops.

The sports that have benefitted from HD the most, in my experience, are tennis, golf and cycling, but HD is enough for the wide variety of sports I watch. I find frame rate more important, and that's only really an issue when it comes to streaming. I've had to stream my football club's matches and mirror them to my TV over the last month or two and the smoothness, or lack thereof, was noticeable even though the picture quality was fine.

I'm getting off topic though, and everyone's preferences and entertainment priorities are different.
