You only capitalize a common word if it is part of a proper noun phrase. For example: The National Football League.

Example:

I heard that The National Football League voted to suspend the player from all remaining football games.

Yes, sports like Baseball, Basketball, and soccer should not be capitalized unless they are part of a proper noun (e.g., Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association).
