Oh. So it's your opinion. K.
Uhh, yes? Which I've said from the get go, if you were paying attention or reading.

A sport is an activity that involves competition, where competitive advantage is gained through superior athleticism or dexterity, and is governed by a set of rules.

I just want to know what the word sport referred to back in the early 1800's
Then look it up?

so basically anything played as a team = sport. anything played individually unless directly against another person in unison is not?
team, individual, doens't fricking matter. The bottom line that I thought I made pretty clear (in my OWN OPINION of what a sport is) is 100%, solely based on your opponent hindering your success. That's it.
Tennis has that, so I'd call it a sport.

I bet tiddly winks, hopscotch, and ball on a string in a cup have been around for centuries but I wouldn't call those sports.
Nice straw man. I said long established sports. Those have NEVER been called sports in history.
Go back and you will find people calling track a sport. Not the other absurd examples you provided.

I wasn't paying attention.
I'm merely pointing out that your opinion is ill-informed and but based in anything other than your hate for a particular sport or number of sports. Very educated, I must say.

Not really sure athleticism should factor in.

Baseball's not a sport. Got ya.
By his definition, baseball could either be a sport or not depending on how you did that day. DH going 0-4 with 4 Ks, not a sport. CF going 2-4 with 2 doubles and 3 put outs, sport.

Yea. I don't need to look it up. I know already. You, however, are crushed by my argument and can't provide a rebuttal.

You must not play golf

Elaborate on the defense played in golf, please.

You don't think athleticism should be factored in the definition of a sport?
Are you retarded?
Posted on 2/13/15 at 10:40 am to WG_Dawg
You don't think golfers are athletes? 
Oh me and ^^^ read that differently

Based on what, becuase it's not yours? I think my definition makes a good bit of sense.
I'd also like to point out I'm not writing letters to petition the white house to accept my definition of a sport. It's just the way I feel.

what the hell are you talking about? Can you please provide us with specific examples of sports I claim I hate?

wish I could say the same for your posts, but unfortunately I cannot.

Disrupting their concentration somehow and making them not hit the ball to the best of their ability.

Have you ever played match play?

Rebuttal to the fact that society has called certain activities a "sport" for a long arse time?
Ok? What do you want me to rebut? I don't know if yall are purposely not paying attention or just typing words at random, but I have REPEATEDLY stated, probably going on over 6 times now, that everything I'm saying is what I PERSONALLY consider to be a sport. If you want to call track a sport becuase it's been around a while and people have called it a sport a long time, knock yourself out chief. There's really nothing to rebut with what you're saying. You're posting an opinion just like I am.
