sporting goods vs. sport good

Hi,

Any difference between

sporting goods vs. sport goods?

I dont think there is any even though there were 30,000 hits for sporting and 500,000 for sport. What do you think?

There's really not a lot of difference, but the normal idiomatic phrase in my experience is 'sporting

Thanks Clive!

In MY English there is no such phrase as "sport good". I wouldn't have a clue what you were referring to. Although, in theory, "good" can be used in its singular form, in practice it never is.

Also "sport" is a noun, not an adjective. To convert it to an adjective use "sports" or "sporting".

good(s) i forgot to write the s. Clive put it there in a different color to show me that I forgot it.

So maybe :

Sporting/Sports goods is British

Sport goods is American

???????

First of all, you should search/google for
"sporting goods"
(in question marks, in order to group up the terms)
not just for
"sporting"

The results are clear:
627,000 for "sport goods"
28,400,000 for "sporting goods"

The hits for "sport goods" are mostly coming from non-native sites.

Yes I checked goole hits and I think I misread the numbers.

The results are clear:
627,000 for "sport goods" (incorrect English)
28,400,000 for "sporting goods" (correct English)
2,970,000 for "sports goods" (correct English)

Just a quick correction... the term would be put in inverted commas and not questions marks to group the terms together.
