re: What is your definition of a sport?

Except there are no points in boxing.

If Ohio State and Michigan played for 60 minutes and then three judges told you who won, would you consider it a sport?

"Well...Ohio State scored more points, but Michigan looked more fundamentally sound, so I say they won."

How do you even consider this a good example. Not only is it a terrible hypothetical, but it doesn't even address the point. The objectivity of the winning criteria does not determine whether it is a sport or not.

What about the word sport or its derivation have anything to do with how the winner is decided.

It is seriously "well if it is a sport it is more worthy in my eyes" therefore I can come up with a definition of sport that aligns with what sports I find worthy.

I have absolutely no rooting interest in gymnastics, but if you think there is more sport in badminton then there is in gymnastics because how the winner is decided, then I don't know what to say. They are both sports IMO.
