The 1.2.1 update introduced a new issue and Nintendo is looking into itNintendo has taken the servers for Switch Sports down, suspending online play and save data backup while it investigates a new issues causing crashes.
As shared across the different Nintendo social accounts (https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1580939362056884224), a bug has been found in the latest Ver. 1.2.1 update of Nintendo Switch Sports. It's been causing crashes during the pre-match loading screen, affecting both online and offline play.
While Nintendo has suspended the roll-out (https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1580937011837272066) of the update, it's also taking servers down temporarily while it investigates. Online play will not be available, obviously, and save data backup will be suspended as well.

A quick pause in playVer. 1.2.1 for Switch Sports was released earlier this week (https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/58598/kw/nintendo%20switch%20sports#v121), on October 12. Its goal was to strengthen measures against disruptive behaviors. That entails any violations of Nintendo's Community Guidelines (https://www.nintendo.com/code-of-conduct/), including fraudulent behavior, including save data manipulation.
The previous update, Ver. 1.2.0, added a fair bit (https://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-just-dropped-a-huge-switch-sports-update-here-are-the-patch-notes/) to the Wii Sports successor. One-on-one and four-on-four soccer got leg strap support, volleyball received a new slide attack move, and some nice features were added for online play.
In our review (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-nintendo-switch-sports/) of Nintendo Switch Sports, it sounds like while the single-player progression wasn't the most rewarding, it still had a good bit to offer for multiplayer gatherings. And honestly, who doesn't have fond memories of bowling?
Hopefully the online sees a fix soon. Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch Sports is still due to receive its golf update, which was pushed out of September but should arrive sometime in the holiday season (https://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-switch-sports-is-getting-its-free-golf-update-later-than-expected/).
