Are these sports?
I searched the forums and didn't find anything like this. I'm curious what the general consensus is around here if any of the following are sports. What is your definition of a sport?

Re: Are these sports?
Auto Racing - No. IMO auto racing is an entirely seperate category; not a game, not a sport.
Billiards - No, it's a game Baseball - Yes, duh. Curling - Yes, but it's close and could be considered a game Golf - Yes, but somewhat borderline Bowling - Yes, but it's close and could be considered a game Darts - No, game Poker - No, game Chess - No, game |

Why is auto racing considered a sport? I've never understood this...

Re: Are these sports?
I voted yes on billiards and no on bowling because both take physical skill, and there's a dynamic element to billiards that there isn't to bowling so I put bowling out and billiards in. Golf is close in that it's not that dynamic either, but more than bowling is,so it's the last one in for sport. Note that I don't think lots of things others considr sports like 100m dash to be sports because of this definition, nor do I consider push up contests to be sports.

Re: Are these sports?
Can anyone make a definition of "sport" to back up their claim?
I am a little bit partial to the definition that requires defense to be played, but that would discount track and field events. |
