Seriously, no, considered, yes. I love that cute little rock though. It's adorable, but there is no point in this sport!

You may not work up much of sweat curling, but it's a lot harder than it looks. If anyone thinks it's easy you can put your own team together(it's not like you have to be drafted or have money-just join a club!), win your club championship, then your state championship, then your national title, and then you can move on to the Olympics/Worlds.
At my club I play in the club playdowns against an Olympic champion even though I'm not that great a curler. I probably will never beat him, but at least he has to beat me to move on and I get to try my luck against an Olympic medalist. No other sport is like that.

Of course it is a sport. I'm assuming that most people who knock it have never actually tried it. Curling takes precision, speed, strength, strategy and timing. You can't just walk out on the ice and throw the stone right into the house on your first try. Stop knocking a sport just because you don't understand it. I don't understand cricket but its still a sport.

Curling is definitely a sport. It's lawn bowling on ice, and don't forget lawn bowling is one of the biggest sports in the British Isles; so why not curling for good old Canada.

Let the canadians have their ice sports. Hockey is soccer on ice. Curling is Shuffleboard on Ice. Speed Skating is Track on Ice. Figure Skating is Dancing on Ice.
Now let me make up some canadain sports......
Ice Football- Watch out Ricky!
Ice Polo- Horses on skates on ice would be grrrrrrrrrreat
Ice Basketball or BaskICEBall
Ice Derby- Roller Derby on Ice.

It is not really a 'big' sport.
The biggest sport in the world is football (soccer for you US yellowbellies) and one of the smallest is curling. But it is more of a sport than american football, baseball or basketball. They are not popular outside the US, so I consider them small sports. Curling is populair outside the US, so it is a big sport.

I'm tired of defining sports. Let's just not call anything a sport every again.
It's a competitive activity, like baseball, soccer, swimming and hot dog eating.

I would say it is as much a sport as bowling. The games are somewhat similiar, both throw a large object down a narrow path.

Well when you have 40 year-old canadien women schooling everyone in sight - there's not much room for calling it a sport. But everyone wants to be an athlete, so just let them be happy.
