So athletic endeavors like track & field are not sports? I think defense is necessary to a GAME but not to a SPORT.
- bodiva88


agreed there. Golf, Track and Field, swimming are SPORTS for sure.

I think the requirement of a sport is Athleticism.

Chess doesnt playing video games doenst (even playing difficult video games in a hot attic) and neither does sitting in a hot car driving around in circles and taking your life in your hands. Stupid, yes. Sport, no.

The problem here is that you somehow believe that it diminishes the things you mention. Track And Field are events. Golf is a game. Does not mean they are any less difficult or any less respectable.

I don't know I think I have to side with Bodiva on this MB. Track and Field are sports, they require athletic ability, same with golf.

Maybe you can make the case they don't involve direct competition with the opposition, that they are a different category of athletic sports that is fine, but they should still fall under the category of sports.

To be clear, posting dumb comments on a HB message board is not a sport either.

He's Alaskan. Canadian minor hockey would have never made that mistake.

Strange. He's looks like a Canadian to me.

So you're saying I have to lie if I come in here? That doesn't seem very fair, what if I was a man of faith?

The fact these announcers cater to this clown and call him WorldPeace is an embarrassment. If he legally changed his name to Haywood Jablowme would they call him that on the air?

I've always thought 'dweeb' was an underutilized word...
