Now and days i think things being classified as "sports" are getting a little out of line... i will quote george carlin here for a second "swimming is not a sport swimming is a way to keep from drowning! running isnt a sport i could run to the sport for some milk but its not a f***** sport! fishing isnt a sport fishing is a means of survival" how can you say things like poker fishing and that is a sport along with darts? i think the sports that are really sports are football baseball basketball hockey soccer with a few exceptions such as european type of sports such as maybe rugby cricket and stuff... nascar, cheerleading, pool, bowling, running, fishing, hunting, racing (bike, car, motorcycle, anything for that matter), and a few more are not sports to me... what do you think?

tennis is also a sport... golf is borderline but i think its more of a popular game than an acctual athletic type of sport

I DO think NASCAR is a sport. (GO Dale Earnhardt Jr. #8!) :-)
Cheerleading is NOT a sport.
I don't think that pool, bowling, running, fishing or hunting are sports.
Actual Sports in my opinion: NASCAR, football, basketball, soccer, hockey, & baseball

Sports are much more than the events that you see athletes get paid millions of dollars to perform...Sports can also be personal, as well as played with a team...You and you friends can create a game that involves a lot of activity (such as crossing football with soccer or something like that) and called it a sport amongst your friends. Of course, there are the usual baseball, football, basketball, and hockey events, but we know how to play them already and we understand every dynamic of them. To me, a sport (whether old or new) is something that you can have fun with, not necessarily get paid a ton of money to play. That is probably why people don't really think that "sports" are what they are due to the huge salaries that attached to them...

Hell yea that's and that i thoroughly believe the "demands greater diligence than soccer" and it additionally demands greater greater extreme actual exertions a million/2 of the time, and as to him asserting that's barely a game no count if that's televised curiously he has in no way hear of VS community or much greater so the exterior channel looking is on television greater then soccer a minimum of 18 hours an afternoon!
