Like gustar, it's sort of backwards to what we are used to in common English speech. It can be translated as “the sports enchant me” or “I am enchanted by the sports” and since sports are plural then encantan takes the plural form of the verb.

Yes, according to DRAE:

To like in a large extend, really like. He loves the movies

When referring to a group, I.e. Sports. This link to Spanish dict is a good discussion

it is correct to traslate love by amar, ... and like by gustar, but I never would say:: amo los deportes. I would say:: Me gusta el deporte, me gustan los deportes

No. El complemento preposicional se usa con Seres animados ( Personas o animales). I Love my wife- Yo amo/quiero a mi esposa. I love paella: Me gusta,encanta,agrada...la paella . ( Decir: "Amo la paella" no suena bien en español.
Puedes decir: Me gusta/n el/los deporte/s . Amo el /los deporte/s. Duolingo , a menudo, traduce : "To love" con " encantar" y " To like" con gustar". http://www.hispanoteca.eu/Foro-preguntas/ARCHIVO-Foro/Gustar-querer-amar.htm

Don't remember where I read it, but I understand that when using "amar" instead of "encantar" to love something with other than a romantic or familial or friendship type of love, then "amar a" should be used. "Amo mi hijos," but "Amo a los deportes.
