If i considered Golf,Bowling, darts, Nascar, Tennis, or poker a sport. I would say its a mind numbing tie for all of the above. The above mentioned activities however, are not sports. This leaves me with real sports. Even though the pacing of football can at times be boring and anti climatic. The balance of excitement and suspense is greater than the moments of stagnate monotony. Hockey is always in top gear, unless your team is being blown out. Hockey always offers some type of suspense through out the entire game. Baseball seems to be the most boring sport to me. The game is just to slow.

Why do people continue to categorize Golf as a sport? It's a game, like Chess and Checkers, not a sport. When a guy has the right to gripe about HAVING to walk from hole to hole while some poor schmoe carries his bag for him you completely lose the "Sport" label.
Because they are sports...they all either have a physical aspect to it, or mental. Plus aren't all sports human competition? I do think those things you listed are sports, as stupid as it may sound. After all, if bird watching, and remote control boating are official sports then those should be as well.
