The suggestion from Reddit is correct. When submitting a form, the <option> tags within a <select> element need a value attribute to pass data when the form is submitted. Currently, your <option> tags only contain the display text ({{ sport }}), but they need a corresponding value that will be submitted with the form. Here’s how you can modify your code to include the value attribute:

{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block body %}
    <h1>Register</h1>
    <form action="/register" method="post">
        <input autocomplete="off" autofocus name="name" placeholder="Name" type="text">
        <select name="Sport">
            <option disabled selected value="">Sport</option>
            {% for sport in sports %}
                <option value="{{ sport }}">{{ sport }}</option>
            {% endfor %}
        </select>
        <button type="submit">Register</button>
    </form>
{% endblock %}
