Skater Almost Killed at X-Games Today

Bullshit, stamp collecting is not physical. Everything has to have defense? Then that eliminates golf, shooting, track and field and stuff like that. Things that are clearly sports. The term sport shouldn't be something that you value.

This all stems from your dislike of a sport. It's ok if you don't like a sport or even don't respect it, but that doesn't mean that it is a sport.

Then explain what makes a sport and what doesn't. Draw the line between hobby and sport.

When a competitive element is present an an organised structure of competition is introduced with official governing bodies and a codified series of rules and regulations.

(Not a word but i'll go along with this)
By that definition poker and competitive video gaming as well as eating is a sport. They have all those aspects.

Yes but I don't have a problem with that. Anything that people choose to compete against each other competitively is a sport in my opinion.

Yes I agree that I associate sports with a physical element and so things such as chess may not be sports in the strictest sense but I still appreciate the skill required to take part competitively and so consider it to be as worthy a pursuit as any other sport.

People should just do what they love to do, one mans' meat is another man's poison.
