I think golf and table tennis are both sports though.

sport is something done for fun also is it not?


childbirth is not fun

Anything that has a tangible aspect of defense and offense is a sport. Anything that can be done by ones self involving tricks or just simply displays of skill is a hobby. Now a hobby could be classified as a sport under the term of ____ competition. Skateboarding is not a sport however skateboarding competitions are. Eating a lot of food isn't a sport how ever doing it for time or amount in "competitions" (not matter how biased i am in thinking this is an absolute joke) i suppose does qualify as a sport.
so u could say running is not a sports event yet running in a comp is#
u cud use this clarification wit everything................................
martial arts is a skill u learn yet it's not a sport unless u compete


If everyone's gonna hold this belief that skateboarding, competitive eating, and even golfing are on the same level as boxing, baseball, football, and basketball, than thats what the definition of a sport has to be and no event (no matter how ponderous) could be excluded from having sport status if its done in a competitive manner. This includes: Video games, Poker, yoyoing, eating, rock climbing, stamp collecting, and any other hobby done in a competitive manner.
