Figure skating? Bowling? Darts? Golf? NASCAR? Or come up with your own.

I've got to go with Rome's words on Figure skating. Any activity that after completion, I need to have someone else tell me who won, is NOT a sport.

Figure Skating-- not a sport

Bowling-- borderline sport

Darts- not a sport

Golf- yes, golf is a sports

NASCAR- not a sport

Volleyball- not a sport

Poker-- DEF. NOT A SPORT

SpellingBee- not a sport

Arm Wrestling- not a sport

this Ultimate fighting shit---- not a sport

WWE/WWF- not a sport

soccer- borderline sport, a pussy sport

water polo- not a sport

croquet- not a sport

dodgeball- yes, it is a sport

Sex -- sport
World Superbike -- sport
NASCAR -- sport if you're drunk.
F1 -- sport if you're fucking eurotrash.
Soccer -- sport if you're metrosexual and own weirdly stubby legs.
X-Games -- supersport!!!
NBA -- Fake.

I really don't think NASCAR can be considered a sport. Anything using machinery is not a sport. Racing is a competition, but not an athletic competition at all. It's no more of a sport than a spelling bee really. Yes, there is certainly skill involved, but not athletic skill.

Bowling and Golf aren't exactly athletic competitions, but have enough athletic element to be sports. They are borderline though. I hate to say it but Darts and Pool have to be considered sports as well.

Figure skating is not a sport. It's basically a dance competition on ice. Like Rome said, if you have to have someone tell you who won, it's not a sport.

I won't consider "Competitive Eating" a sport until one of those guys explodes. If it's a sport, there HAS to be risk of injury, and I don't consider getting diarrhea after eating 7000 hot dogs to be in the same category as a torn ACL.

Arhritis of the jaw from eating too much cow brains? He still can't walk up to a football player with a broken femur and "talk shop" with him. That's kind of like going to the state penn for tax evasion and being thrown in a cell with Charles Manson.

Ledezma's reposonse, then mine after a hyphen (easiest way to cover this topic, not pickin on you man)...

Figure Skating-- not a sport - athletic but not a 'sport'

Bowling-- borderline sport - wii bowling is hard, but its a borderline sport. a lot of old people take it up when they cant do much else so it cant be that great.

Darts- not a sport - agreed, skill not sport

Golf- yes, golf is a sports - this kind of goes into the same bin as darts for me. skill but not a sport.

NASCAR- not a sport - give me right turns in a race and its a sport.

Volleyball- not a sport - how can you say that? you have teams of athletes competing against each other. definitely a sport.

Poker-- DEF. NOT A SPORT - agreed, mind game and luck, not sport.

SpellingBee- not a sport - agreed

Arm Wrestling- not a sport - agreed

this Ultimate fighting shit---- not a sport - if i could reach across the pc and smack you i would.

WWE/WWF- not a sport - agreed, acting.

soccer- borderline sport, a pussy sport - its a sport though.

water polo- not a sport - it may be stupid to us, but it is a sport. treading water and doing all that takes amazing physical stamina, and its team oriented without judges. therefore, sport.

croquet- not a sport - once again, old people do it so a competition, but not sport.

dodgeball- yes, it is a sport - no more than water polo :P

UxKa you just broke your own rule about long posts.

It's ok, though, he used someone else's post as half of his.

So it was kind of like a quote without the blue box....

Here's my guide: if you can do it drunk, it's not a sport. This immediately removes golf and bowling. But it also unexpectedly removes softball, which is taken very seriously by big fat drunks and lesbians. It also removes wrestling and rugby, which are impossible to do unless you're drunk.

Basketball can't be played by drunks for more than 30 seconds, it's too aerobic. Baseball requires quick reaction times and the ability to deal with bright lights, so you can't do that drunk. And on the football field, even in touch football, a drunk is dead meat.

Most things involving a pool are sports...........

Drunks drown.

Shit.

good axiom: if you cant play defense its not a sport.

nascar cant be a sport. am i an athlete while i drive to the liquor store? or to mcdonalds? for a pack of smokes?

volleyball definitly is a sport. golf and bowling are too. my view on this is if you turned on the tv and someone asked you what you were watching, and you had to describe it in one word, you'd say 'sports'.

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. Also, it's not a pussy sport.
Try playing it. That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. Lame.

You can't play defense in golf nor bowling.

Better axiom: If women won't watch it, Sport.

This means action movies, construction shows, and porn are sports but not bullshit like figure skating.

(note: the term "women" excludes Elektra as she has evolved into a higher form of female.)

I hate soccer. But it is a sport, and a tough one at that. Just because pretending to be a pussy is part of the sport does not make them pussies. I think it's boring as shit, but it definitely is a sport.

I like that rule. But does that make tennis a sport?


More on sports/non-sports:

Figure Skating- Not a sport
Bowling- nope
Darts- nope
Golf- nope it's a game/competition
NASCAR- nope
Volleyball- hell yes
Poker-- nope
SpellingBee- lol no
Arm Wrestling- no - it's a challenge

Most of these things are competitions, it takes a lot to be a sport.

Seems like 'Sports' should be played by 'Athletes'. NASCAR drivers back in the day didn't remind me of athletes one bit. Same thing with bowlers. I wouldn't want to get into a beer drinking contest with them.

You are not meeting the right women my man.

Don't I fucking know it.

This actually reminds me of my favorite competitive game: Liquor Chess.

On a Liquor Chess board, the chess pieces are substituted for containers of a wide variety of alcoholic beverages. Every board is different; sometimes the pawns are represented by flutes of champagne, and the drinks get more brutal as the chess pieces are more valuable. By the time you get to the queen, sometimes it's a bottle of cognac.

A really great game of Liquor Chess is when half the pieces are left on the board and/or knocked over, and the players are stumbling down the street signing the Soviet national anthem, and neither one is exactly sure what they were doing earlier that day.

Mich:
Baseball is out. David Wells threw a no hitter while drunk, and Dock Ellis threw a no hitter while tripping on LSD.

Anal Fisting: Sport or not?
