In American English, we do not use "sport" as a term for sports in general. We either like a sport or sports in general. So,"I like sport" is not proper in American English.
Is it proper in any other dialect of English? I wouldn't think so, but I really don't know.

I was taught that you could drop the personal pronouns, especially where the verb ending made the subject clear.
I think in formal Russian pronouns are almost never dropped.
In colloqual speech, they may be dropped, but I don't think it depends on the verb form. We also drop them before past tense sometimes, and past tense doesn't make it clear. Unfortunately, I don't know any rules for dropping them, I just rely on my intuition.
