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

All depends on the available light where you are shooting.

F2.8 lenses are bigger, weigh more and cost a good bit more. Can't tell you if it is worth it for a stop of light. Not enough information was provided.
