A sport to me is defined when you have a specific thing to accomplish like say scoring a touchdown or getting a hit. The sport comes in when there are an equal number of mutha fuckers on the other side trying to keep you from accomplishing your goal. Hard to get the ball cross the line when some 350 lbs sasquatch is trying to take your head off and shove it up your ass, equally as hard to hit a ball when some fucker is throwing it at you 100mph and he has 8 other fuckers trying to catch it, if you do happen to hit it. thats sports. Riding a bike is something southern folks do to go to the store when we just got our 3rd DUI. Put a life time supply of Miller Lite at teh finish line, I will take my boys rusty ass Mongoose and smoke them poosies in the Tour.

Bowling

Agreed, now rig one of the pins with C4 and then it becomes a challenge to bowl.

I agree with the atletic component defining a sport. NASCAR is strenous but it's not a sport until I see a dude wreck and then get out of his car and start running with the pack. Hunting is absolutely not a sport and anyone who say's it is should be released into the wild but nekkid and forced to run through the bush with 600ft/sec paintballs whizzing past him...now we're talking.

The one that irritates me the most though is that ice shuffleboard they play in the winter olympics...forget the name of it but it almost sent me into a cussing fit everytime I walked by it being played at the gym. Imagine the greatest olympic athletes from greek times watching this childrens game being mentioned in the same breath as what they did. Rubbish. How is that an olympic sport yet american football, ie real football, isn't?

I am in complete agreement, big diffrence between a game and a sport. Golf is a game, not a sport. Now let me try to hit you in the back of the head with my club while you tee off, then we have the making of a sport.

sport   [spawrt, spohrt]

–noun

an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.

athletic [ath-let-ik]

–adjective

of or pertaining to athletes; involving the use of physical skills or capabilities, as strength, agility, or stamina: athletic sports; athletic training.

Racing is technically a sport, because it requires loads of stamina to hold a car on the track in 100+ temps at 180-200 mph. It says something when they can lose 4 pounds during a race by just sitting there if they don't stay hydrated. I'd say one race yields more stress on the system than the average football player feels in a game, or most other team sports. I remember a construction crew watching me play basketball as a youngen and making a comment about (NASCAR) racing being the only man's sport, and he was right. Any kid can play basketball, baseball, hockey, football, etc.
