Apart from droid NFL-style football and board games are there any examples of sports similar to ours? I.e., snooker/pool, football/soccer, tennis, etc?
In the club scene of Attack of The Clones, we see a screen broadcasting a droid sport match. In the Zare Leonis books, he played some type of sport.

In the videogame Knights of the Old Republic, there is a combat arena on Taris. I don't know if you'd count that as a sport, but the audience seems to, and the real world considers Mixed Martial Arts a sport.
Also in Knights of the Old Republic, A card game, Pazaak, is very popular and can be played in many locations. I don't know if you'd count that as a sport, but we have the World Series of Poker, and the Star Wars universe seems to take Pazaak about as seriously.

Starwars.com ran a two-part blog on this subject:
THIS IS PODRACING: SPORTS IN THE STAR WARS GALAXY, PART 1
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME: SPORTS IN THE STAR WARS GALAXY, PART 2
They list the following sporting activities that certainly relate to Earth sports. I will name the in-universe sport followed by the the Earth analogue in parenthesis, but some may not have a direct link or not enough information to provide a guess.
In addition to lead up of the release of Attack of the Clones, an official in-universe website named HoloNet News regulary ran a "Sports" column.
