Definition of Sport:
Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determiner of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used to include activities such as mind sports and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors.
Its not all about physical capabilities.

Darts and snooker are great in your local sports and social club, but a professional sport, probably not. As for brightly coloured gnomes on horseback, I don't think so.

U have lost ur mind, what do u expect us to call them?
horse-riding, polo, snooker, ballard, dart, marking, arrowing, etc will not be called sports.
please define sports to me first
Defination in dictionary is
"Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively."

Ok What the heck is snooker???? I think ANYTHING that requires talent is a sport. Yes, horse-racing is. Can YOU do it? probably not.

And I suppose you could beat any of these guys could you? Dude, I've played darts for years and it's nearly impossible to be as good as the guys you see on the telly. It takes a lot of skill.

All very true........but what about football?
A load of overpaid sissies more worried about their hair than getting the ball in the goal..........and where their next sponsorship deal will come from.
It's not a sport,,,,it's a business.
