I came across this sentence: 夢を売るのよ スポーツって。

I guess here 夢を売る can't be translated to "dream selling", that just doesn't
make sense.

So what does it mean anyways?

What does "夢を売る" mean? sell a dream?
Would help if you provided more context.

Looking it up in dictionaries provides no other meanings for the word. I'd
guess that it's used in the context of "selling dreams", like how sports make
kids and young adults dream of becoming professional athletes, and making it
big.
