When the distribution contract creates 280,000 SPORTS it deposits them into Liquidity Provider rewards pool for SWAP.HIVE/SPORTS. That pool is set to accept deposits but distribute them over 365 days. That means that each day, for the next ~330 days, the pool rewards will keep getting bigger until it is fully distributing 280,000 a day itself.

If the token funding contract was not voted anymore then it would still be distributing for the rest of the contract life but only with what it has in it now and not growing.
