So Olympic sports like the javelin and discus and hammer throw are out? Oh, and track.

So no boxing?
I've never watched a full boxing match, but I was always under the impression that it was punch count that determined the winner if there was no knockout?

wow no. There are judges to decide the winner of a boxing match, just as in mma You dont know a whole lot about sports obviously so we can rule out your definition of them

Like I said, I've never watched a full match, so I wouldn't know. Boxing or MMA just don't do it for me. It does seem rather odd to let a third party judge who won rather than them just keep fighting until a winner is determined, though.

Yea but it's football which falls under what I said
I think you have to be highly athletic to do some of those things but they mostly IMO aren't "sports"

I am just going to say, in my opinion, you are wrong. And leave it at that.

So a sport played in only one country comes in second to a sport played in every country in the world? Okay...

Pro-Wrestling isn't a sport. Think of it as a really athletic performance art.
I'd say more like athletic vaudeville.

I just think you need to be able to control your opponents outcome

Well in sports like racing and track, you are judged based on where you place. Plaing ahead f your competitors is the way to "control their outcome"

Not directly
I mean there's no really answer to this question so there's no use in trashing each other
It's honestly a way I can say that cheer leading isnt a sport
