My dad likes watching, but I can't figure out how it is a sport if the players are not out on teh ice swinging sticks at each other ....or at a baseball field.

not according to this person ...
... "No competition should be granted "sport" status until its athletes' god-given athletic abilities and talents determine their chances at victory in that particular "sport."
The natural talents of NASCAR participants do not determine their success in an event. They rely on the equipment they operate and other people around them to have a chance at winning. Does a different brand of football or a different company's batting gloves on a baseball player have any bearing on the outcome of those sports? No.
When people talk about participating in a sport, they talk about going to play baseball, or basketball or even hockey. If you're going to race a car, do you say you're going to "play racing?" No."....

Yes, because the precise driving and ability to stand the heat requires athletic ability. Poker on the other hand definitely isn't. If anyone can do it, why don't you sign up to be a NASCAR driver and make millions?
