I love how somehow in the past 10 years 10fps just became far too slow.
The 1D series from Canon was THE sports camera for years and years, and topped out at 10fps and was 8fps for many iterations. Many Olympics and major sporting events were shot with those cameras, with award winning photos created. Is 20fps a nice advantage? Sure. But 10fps is plenty to shoot sports with.

By chasing, I mean it’s been a long time since Canon challenges Sony in features and specs. Video’s specs are the most exciting, but they also improved IBIS and fused a high MP body to a high FPS body. Basically a high resolution sports camera.
How is 10FPS a sports camera? The 20FPS electronic shutter will be pretty useless for sports due to slow readout.
I think the important point here is "was"
People made award winning sports images with cameras without AF, too. That, for me at least, isn't an argument in itself.
With this definition almost every MILC with 8fps + is a sports camera.
Really really not. A sports camera is one which combines top level AF with a top level buffer and a top level FPS, not to mention weather sealing, ergonomics, reliability, toughness, battery life, viewfinder blackout, etc. The FPS alone does not make a pro camera and the idea that a sports camera can be defined by it would never be advanced by anyone with any experience of the genre.
