Would A Canon Rebel XSi be a good Action camera?

Outdoor/indoor sports and animal photography. Which would be better the Canon Rebel XSi or the Nikon D5000? What lens would be the best for the Rebel? Also which one is more idiot proof?

Actually no dslr is "idiot proof". If you've never operated a dslr camera there is a learning curve that you need to respect before you'll be able to really operate it properly. If you intend using it on full auto all the time you'd might as well buy a point and shoot.

Actually any dslr camera is good for any kind of action - provided you have enough light. Action stops or "freezes" well at 1/1000 of a second. Any dslr will do that. But, given that shutter speed or even faster there has to be a lens with an f/stop that will support that along with enough light - as in bright sun. That high shutter speed doesn't allow much light to reach the sensor so what light there is has to be bright.

Of course if you buy a lens like the 50mm f/1.8 and use 1/1000 or even 1/500 you can pretty well stop action in the average basketball game or well lit football field.

If you're willing to learn how to use a camera like this then I highly recommend any Rebel. I shoot the 1000D and it's just excellent. Good Luck
