The kit 40-150 is too slow for sports. Due to the modest apertures it can't isolate the action sufficiently and it also prevents using really high shutter speeds, which is an important component of success. It might be okay for tennis or a lone player on a field, but amongst the chaos and clutter of team sports it is the wrong lens. No matter what system you choose, you'll need to budget for fast glass.

I don't think so. Shot a lot of great sighthound pics with the 40-150R and the 75-300- If the light is right, they both are well suited for fast action.
