Serious question: why is golf a sport?

[Frogs!]

Those guys chew tobacco in the outfield. They run in small spurts every few minutes.

How's that a sport?


Who are you??????

if lebron decides to chew some tobacco while kobe is shooting free throws at the other end of the court, does that make basketball no longer a sport?

[Prince Boateng]

Let me put this another way.......

If typist had to compete against each other to see who could type the fastest, does it make it a sport......

[Bastian Loc]

would you consider hunting a sport?

Nah.....

hitting a golf ball 360 yds to the middle of a fairway requires physical prowess.

otherwise, anyone can do it.

Identify yourself.

Jack, what you're doing is creating your own definition for what a sport is. A sport is simply something you play or participate in which requires organized rules, skill and strategy. A sport can be a competitive game where there's a loser and a winner, or a pack of losers and a pack of winners.

In the late 1800's, the International Olympic Committee, came to an agreement to recognize Chess as a sport.

You are looking at sports like Basketball, Hockey, Soccer and Football, and using them as a measuring stick to what a sport should be. And that's where you fail. Because you already fail on understanding the universal definition of a sport.

He would never be able to get away with that because basketball is a real sport.

I don't fail.

In my definition of sport, a guy has to be a good athlete to be able to participate in it. My definition is the only one that matters here.


You can call a chess player a sportsman, but that would just make you look like an ass.

If you were just a bit smart, you wouldn't ask this question because it is right there in the post that you quoted.
