I think the skill of holding a conversation is much more important than having conversational topics.

If I wanted to optimize for that goal I would do Improv Comedy as a hobby.

So the most instrumentally rational sport may be the one which happens to be popular in your immediate social environment.

A lot of sports give you a new social environment when you practice them. You don't have to optimize for your existing social environment.
