The speaker is talking to a male friend; 'old sport' is a term of endearment that upper class men used to use with each other, similar to 'old chap'. I think it is being used here as an interjection to add force to whatever the speaker is saying.

"old sport" is usually a british term of endearment. It's a bit like saying "my good friend"
