What the fuck is the point of sport moves?

I think they're meant to be used in doubles

Also in Gen 5 the damage reduction was buffed from 50% to 67%

The problem is they're just not worth the move slot. If you want to reduce the power of Fire-type moves, you can use rain, which also has other benefits.

Instead of wasting a moveslot to reduce the power of Electric attacks, you can nullify them entirely with Lightning Rod.

Clearly they're for early game, Anon.

Before you have access to breeding, before you have access to a lot of TMs, before you've beaten the third gym in whatever game; sport moves can simulate the effect of "real" moves until your team reaches the appropriate stage to obtain them.

That makes no sense. With the exception of Water Sport Budew, no early game pokemon learns a sport move that covers a weakness. Double battles are too ubiquitous in regular play to make the moves even situational.

Give wild Pokemon a useless move so that they can waste a turn and be easier to catch.
