The bowling thread picked my interest. What do you think constitutes a "sport" in the true sense of the word? I tend to think of a sport as something different than a pastime or hobby.
A common dictionary definition of "sport" is:
A common dictionary definition of "sport" is:
An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
Some things I don't think of as sports, but that I have heard referred to as sports inculde: Billiards/Pool, Bowling, Card Games(Poker, Bridge, etc...) Darts, Fishing, Hunting, and the list goes on...
I think a sport should involve some real physical exertion, like running, throwing, kicking, or jumping. Is golf more of a game than a sport?
What do you think?
