2142266, How do you define a sport Posted by AnonymousCoward, Wed Mar-06-13 09:17 AM
This is based on a thread in GD asking id cheerleading is a sport?
-Does a sport require some sort of athleticism? If so, we can dump a couple of Olympic sports like air-rifle and curling. Poker, darts, billiards and spelling bee all out.
-Does a sport require objective scoring, timing or measurement? If so, gymnastics, diving, figure skating and maybe even boxing are out. (IMHO, boxing stays because of the KO angle allowing for decisive wins).
-Does a sport require a skill? If so, a good argument could be made against weight-lifting or even many track events.
