Point, wu Ta--the offensive lineman is a perfect illustrative point. It IS possible to be fat and in shape--Football is a great example. The size makes you impassable and immovable, but you have to have agility, strength, and endurance to play the game--especially on that level. Would anybody tell Charles Haley, Leon Lett or Warren Sapp that they were fat? Not if they valued their lives!
cause most are to stubborn
I'll just say it as easy as possible as I see sports:
everything that was mentioned here is, ... just not chess, that's more of a mindgame instead of a physical game
and some sports (like ie fishing), I don't consider them that hard as a sport (I mean, what I know from fishing is taht you mostly sit and do nothing, not being active)
i'm not sure if i understood are you saying that fishing is a sport even though it requires no activity and the chess is a sport coz its a mind game...chess is a boardgame not a sport....alegebra can be a mindgame and there are a ton of other boardgames that require use of the mind and there just boardgames like chess not sports
POKER! not many people would think this is a sport and being someone who played football, baseball, basketball, and i snowboard its hard for me to call it a sport.. but it is competitive, takes some skill, and some luck, and requires a lot of endurance for (turnament games) so it does have a lot of sports like qualities
guys....calm down... a hundred years ago football wasn't much of a sport... the world evolves around us so u better start to accept the changes... everything mentioned here in this thread is a sport.. it's there in international competitions that bring in bilions of eur...uh...dollars every year.. .video games are starting to become quite popular at high cost/reward competitions too.... the world isn't backwards, it's moving forward and some of u are standing still... that's all
Motorsports are sports for sure. You have to have some sort of physical attribute that makes you win. Superbike riders need stamina and strength to hurl the bike from left to right on chicanes, keep steady on the bike, and to actually stay on. They need to be the lightest they can be. This goes for F1 drivers, who have all the physical stress of freakin astronauts.
Motorsports deserve their name.
Sport implies physical activity married with some sort of tactical element or strategy. Motorsport definitely falls under this.
Snooker, Pool, and all those other fatboy games are just, well GAMES. They have the tactical element but require no physical element whatsoever. By definition alone, they are not sports.
Athletes sweat after hours of gruelling running. Darts players sweat after sitting down with a glass of water.
In fact, some video games should be considerred sports, seeing as many actually offer physical, skillful, and tactical elments.
However, seeing as video games are new, they are seen as controversial. I seriously don't understand how people can tolerate professional darts players, yet a person who is amazing at Counterstrike is called "sad". Again, it's probably because of ignorance.
Dancing Stage Megamix is more of a sport than darts.

The definition of the word "sport" used to be anything that you could bet money on. So when people went to see a horse race, for example, and they bet on it, they were participating in a sport even though they weren't the ones out there on the track.
