Hunting peppers for "sport" in Chicago!

Can anyone from Chicagoland or otherwise in the know shed light on what a "sport pepper" is?  I love making Chicago dogs, but I can only find sport pepers in jars from the one single Chicago-themed hotdog joint here in Louisville.  Growing some myself seems like a no-brainer, until I realized . . . I have no idea what the heck a "sport" pepper is.  My wife reasons they must be peppers which are hunted purely for sport.
 
What variety of peppers might these things be?

I've grown them and pickled them.  Seed source was Tomato Growers.
