Tell me what you define as a sport?
Is it something with a ball? If this is the case, then golf is a sport, but chess and hockey are not. Clearly this is not what you believe.
Is it something with a team? If that is the case, then tennis (singles), chess and golf are not sports. Clearly this isn't your belief either.
Is it something that involves contact? If that is the case, then baseball, chess, tennis, and golf are not sports. Clearly this also isn't your belief.
My school counts it as a sport so I thought I would aswell
So your saying, if your school said math homework is a sport, you'd believe it is?
Tell what you define a sport as. Because from what I've read, it seems like you have no idea.
I consider a sport something competitive.
Golf, cheer leading, chess, checkers, badminton, hockey, baseball, soccer, football, basketball, NASCAR, the list goes on.
Under my definition, any sport can be a game, and any game can be a sport.
Meaning if I'm playing basketball with friends, then I am playing a game. The moment it becomes competitive, I am playing a sport.
That means that video games can be considered a sport, only when playing competitive. (Granted I hate the term cyber-athlete, but since video games have competitive events, they can be defined as a sport)
I might as well throw out my definition of competitive while I am at it. I consider playing competitive as playing in a league or tournament or something like that. Again, playing with friends makes it a game.
I also just read Lorens post, Ice Skating is a sport, when done competitively. I wouldn't ever really call it a game though, more like an activity. But it can be a sport.
I might as well add this in here as well. I run track, which is a sport when done competitively. I play a sport.
