"sport" is in the same class as "rivalry" where people go apeshit over whether or not the thing that they love is described as such... even though it doesn't change that thing either way.

sport is not something that exists in nature or is defined using some quantifiable or universal laws.

all depends on the definition of "sport".

Much like your face, your definition is stupid.

I'm much more willing to classify something as a sport if you're involved in some game of physical activity (using your own power) and skill, with a clear set of rules.

But hitting on girls on the internet by making blatant sexual comments is definitely a sport (and an art and a science).

Bedwetting is most definately not a sport. It's just gross. Even if it's olympic style bedwetting.

Creeping girls out isn't really a sport. Sorry little guy....I'm afraid that with your frail, sickly, and boyish body, you'll never really be able to compete in sports.

Maybe it's best that you stick to building machines to help you move faster. Just don't build anything that will blow us up, ok?

to me, a sport is an activity that requires 1) a certain amount and type of physical skill/talent, 2) some level of physical fitness and 3) contains direct interference (i.e. defense) by the opposition. in this definition, running around a track isn't a sport. golf isn't a sport. cheerleading isn't a sport. those are games, activities, etc. nascar may barely meet the definition, but I'm on the fence there. your opposition can arguably be seen as interfering in your goal; leg races don't really have this; however, I challenge the physical fitness part (sure some drivers a fit, but in the old days, you had some fat rednecks driving... maybe they were physically fit otherwise, I don't know). real sports = soccer, football, basketball, tennis, baseball, etc.

I agree with EMCE, but thats moreso because I'll agree with anyone who disagress with 0EPII1, rather than anything EMCE did to gain my loyalty.

There is no direct defense in swimming. Would you consider that a sport?

What about underwear sniffing? What about underwear sniffing ON A TREADMILL!

Two guys hitting each other and wrestling in their underwear?

Sounds a lot like gay porn to me.

^^^swimming is not a sport.

I'm not saying that activities that aren't sports aren't physically demanding; or even more demanding than a sport; many are; however, I see human racing (run or swim) as not a sport, I classify it as racing, a completely different category; thus my on the fence stance about nascar.

"There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games."

~ Ernest Hemingway


Anything that involves a considerable risk of death gets more respect from me. So while I don't enjoy NASCAR I respect what those drivers do more than baseball or football. And you're kidding yourself if you think race drivers (the competitive ones at least) aren't in amazing shape.

hemingway was a fool... bullfighting is a "sport"?

bullfighting is cowardly cruel stupidity of the highest order.

mechanical bull-riding is more of a sport than "bullfighting".

and bull-riding is infinitely more of a sport than "bullfighting".

I love watching EMCE and OPP going at it. It's like two middle-schoolers going back and forth with "yo mama" jokes.

And bull fighting is a sport. It might not be very humane...but it's definitely a sport.

TWW fighting is definitely a sport, because it requires smarts, macho headgames, and is entertaining as fuck.

I enjoy watching OPP get riled up. I can almost feel the steam coming out of his ears through his posts.
