It is appending @user_sport to the user_sports array.

More info: <<

Append—Pushes the given object on to the end of this array. This expression returns the array itself, so several appends may be chained together.

push is also an equivalent method if you prefer to see the word. << is common though, so it comes down to personal preference.

From rails API doc

Adds one or more objects to the collection by creating associations in the join table (collection.push and collection.concat are aliases to this method).

the '<<' creates association between activeRecords object,

here User has many UserSports so @user.user_sports << @user_sport defines association between @user and @user_sport.
