[Data-modeling] Amateur sportspeople

[Kirrily Robert]

On a related note, we should probably do the same with "Pro athlete",  
as it's currently hard to find an athlete's sport through that type,  
unless they play a sport that has a draft pick, and all the draft pick  
data is filled in.  This doesn't work for fields like eg. pro figure  
skating, skateboarding, or golf.  It would be a denormalisation in the  
cases where we already had a type for eg. "baseball player", but no  
worse than /people/person/profession is wrt film actor, author, etc.
