I appreciate you taking some time appraising the domain
Why do you say the domain has "no meaning" though? I said it means "sport" in Portuguese, which is a quite popular name.
Moreover, "Esporte" receives 8,23,000 exact and 20,400,000 broad monthly searches over google and has 60,60,00,000 search results on Google. Given this info, I'd consider it a "strong word".
I would also like to add the fact that esporte (.club) was sold for 399$
In my opinion, it's just a matter of targeting the right audience.
Thanks anyway
Best regards,
