[Javascript] Help please

In the switch( expression){ CASE ...: CASE ...: } syntax, the expression can
evaluate to any string or number value. It is singular. Consequently,
switch(sport, times) is invalid because it does not evaluate to a single
value/string.

Could you tell what I am doing wrong? I want both variables to be evaluated
using the switch statement. Why is it not working?
