As George Carlin said, It's not a sport unless there's some
chance for physical injury. A "Sport" is something that
involves strength, speed, agility or some combination of these
in an active or confrontational fashion. I don't call bowling,
golf, or billiards sports. Even baseball is questionable since
the use of strength or speed is minimal. Sports: football
(soccer, Aussie, and to some extent American), rugby, hockey,
basketball, swimming, running, wrestling (real wresting, not
that crap on tv), boxing. Not sports: figure skating is an
art, not a sport(though speed skating is a sport)board games,
card games, table games, shooting, body-building, gymnastics,
and anything where the scoring system requires "judges".
