Sport is something NOT participated in by people like this...

...who would even bother to troll that sitting on one's ass for three to five hours trying to figure out how to beat the bishop is "sport" while sweating one's ass off driving at 130 to 200 mph for three to five hours isn't.

I define a sport as follows:

-The "winner" must be determined through a completely OBJECTIVE means (points scored, fastest time, etc.) SUBJECTIVE means (for example, judges' scoring) are not allowed, even if used some of the time.

-Those involved must display a high amount of skill and/or athletic ability.

-The contestants must regularly face the possibility of serious injury while playing.

Continuing from above

-The outcome MUST NOT have been determined beforehand. This automatically disqualifies>>51353

I'm gonna work YOUR core, if you know what I mean.

By all these definitions, plus the consensus that apparently you need to work up a sweat, FUCKING is a sport. Which is an interesting philosophical debate, except IT'S NOT.

Sports require athletic ability (this rules out NASCAR) and a clear winner and loser (this rules out fucking). Also, you shouldn't look like a total pussy while doing it (this rules out golf, chess, poker and Doom).

nascar falls into motorsports, dont you think? there are lots of sports where you don't work up a sweat..... how about diving?

Driving takes as much athleticism as the vidya.

It may take effort, but it is not athletic in the least.
