The other discussion is about if multi sports people are going to be more likely to have their performances set at a 'different level ' as a consequence.
Hard to measure directly as I said, but here's one example of a study supporting the idea that playing multiple sports is better for physical development and gross motor coordination.
Differences in physical fitness and gross motor coordination in boys aged 6–12 years specializing in one versus sampling more than one sport
