"It isn't a sport unless you can die from massive trauma." (not my quote!)

This is why I get really cheesed when I see poker and billiards on ESPN - those are GAMES!

Perhaps we can agree that a "sport" is a form of recreation involving physical exertion or risk...

exactly why golf is a game and not a sport....

Whoa there. You go out, out of shape (like I was), smoking upwards of 2 packs of smokes a day (like I was), and WALK 36 holes on Sat, 36 holes on Sun, and at least 3 18 hole rounds during the week (like I did before I found skydiving), and tell me it's a game. Then show me how the exact placement of your hands, legs, hips, and elbows directly effects your swing. When you do it every day for for most of your life, you get pretty damn good at it. Then you approach the 9th green, a sure skins match worth over $500 in your grasp, and shank it over the green. Feel that stress of losing that much cash on a physical fuck up (kinda like funneling a 4 or 8 way at Nationals, huh) and tell me it's a game.

I love skydiving, but damn it, Golf IS a sport!

i've lost far more than that playing poker but its still a game...

now night speed golf could be considered a sport.
3 balls (lose them and your out)
3 clubs (any you wish)
time in min is added to your score..

tee off and start running before the ball hits the ground....

I've gotten into this argument before with a chick. She said that cheerleading is more of a sport than skydiving.
Her explanation: High Schools always list cheerleading as a sport, and you usually see skydiving called an "activity".

I've golfed a grand total of 27 holes in the last 3 years, but now that, that would get me to pull the clubs out!

Duh, just hand them your rig, and say "YOU try, then we'll talk!"

You guys are the most amazing athletes on the face of the earth.

Now, why do they list cricket as a sport?

People who get in to the "my sport is better than your sport" theme should relax and let others enjoy their thing.

That is true. You have the ball. Then you hit it. Now you have to go get the ball again, but once you get there, you hit it.

It's kind of like playing fetch with a really stupid dog. "Go get the stick Spot... see?... like this..."

Actually, I have the same question about gridiron....
