A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I want to photograph a few sporting events locally.

2.8 is obviously a lot more expensive, but is it worth it?

70-200 lens

Up to you of course, but yeah many people and most photographers would see a big difference between 2.8 and 4 in many situations. Sports photography is generally tough since pros use excellent lenses that are fast and long.
