Why not just use the existing professions property on /people/person?
Michelle Obama could have the profession "Amateur Ping Pong" which
would be a specialization of the "Ping Pong" profession. Alternately,
you could add a hobbies property to person which could hold everything
from knitting to cave diving.<br>

<pre wrap="">This makes sense to me, but I would change the name to something a bit
more specific like "recreational sportsperson". The term amateur can
refer to any athlete that isn't paid to play, which includes serious
college athletes and most olympians. On that note, we may want to have
an "amateur athlete" for this group of athletes as well.

This allows us to capture the fact that Michelle Obama plays ping
pong, or that Britney Spears is an avid snowboarder, or whatever.
(Examples may not be factual.)
Thoughts?
