Focused Freewrite on the Twelfth Night- ACT II

In Act II. iii. 179, Maria calls her scheme to manipulate and embarrass Malvolio "Sport royal..." What do you make of this?

Maria knows that Malvolio thinks highly of himself and he believes everyone loves him. By calling it/him "sport royal..." that translates to a royal sport, which is more like a good sport. This may be sarcastic, because he wouldn't be a good sport. I looked at the surrounding text and I wasn't sure what it meant.
