1. Theres not exactly a stance that he takes, but he does say his opinion of what criteria define a sport. "It must be a large motor sport, it must have an objective scoring system, it must use nothing more complicated than a "simple machine", such as a baseball bat or vaulting pole". And that is what he qualifies as a sport, his personal opinion. Throughout the article he asks rhetorical questions and trys to get the reader to decipher the differences between certain "activities and sports" and how they are different or not.
2. It could be important to constitute whats a sport in events like World Games, the Olympics, and such. There are sports like figure skating that are in the Olympics, that have world games, but some people dont believe that it is a sport because it's so subjective. There are judges and theres no objective way to decide who wins, like scoring a goal or such.
