This rule is not universal, but it is referring to the definite article that we must usually include when speaking of the Mississippi River, the Rocky Mountains, the Sierre Madre range, the Pacific Ocean, etc.

Sports do not take the definite article.
Your original question was about places. There are no rules, only guidelines, and those are too many to list here. Suffice it to say, generally, that if the speakers have tended to consider the place as a name, then they will omit the article (London Bridge, Landmark Tower, Walden Pond) and if they have tended to consider it as a location

Do you want to see a movie? but here, we don't know what is this movie!!
ok?..
i hope you understand
