Sports that shouldn't be sports.

[FurryFox]

Name me some sports that you think should not be sports.
For me I got a few:

Poker- This is a mathematical play-time activity. Why is this even considered a sport?

Curling- You can throw a rock into the middle of a large-ass circle. How is that entertainment? There is virtually no excitement in this old people past-time game.

Darts- hahah ha, no. This is only a thing that drunks do to try and get sober.

Greco-Roman wrestling--c'mon, get a room, you two!

[Urban-Champion]

Chess - Fuck you this is a sport you don't even need to physically move your body for. You lazy fuck find a real sport

So moving your hands is no longer a physical movement. Hmm, intresting.

I never considered golf a sport.

What is that one sport that's like curling on ice and with brooms? They throw an Iron and then sweep the ice to get it to the spot they want. Seriously, what is that?

Shuffleboard is actually a sport!? I thought it was something only played in old-age homes. I just had to look that up for myself to confirm it. Turns out it actually has world championships matches! Guess old people still need money after they retire.

Little known fact. Squash was originally called Squashracquets. And what's wrong with Squash it's a cool and very physically demanding game, as well as being positively dangerous. Copping a racket or a squash ball in the back of the head, fucking hurts like hell.

[NuclearInfected]

NASCAR. Car racing is not a sport no matter how much its retarded redneck fanbase says it is.

That seems really cool and at the same time very humiliating
Also, I think wife carrying has to be really dumb.
Aside from Pro Minigolf, that seems really horrible.

In my Sports Literature class we were actually talking about the definition of sport and when something should be called a sport. In a way, anything with competitions that take practice and skill should kinda be called a sport, but I guess things like chess and poker and such with not really much physical activity but more brain power, could just be called games and competitions.

[ZagmenO]

Chess, fishing, and golf. Little to no physical fitness involved = not sports.

I beg to differ. And I will assume you don't fish. Catching big fish requires a lot of patience and a lot of effort. I have caught a 1000lb shark that took me over 3 hours to catch. I have caught a 750lb Black Marlin that took me nearly 2 hours to catch. Little to no physical fitness involved? You can't be serious.

What? You said that "chess and poker...could just be called games and competitions" Yet at the same time you also say "anything with competitions that take practice and skill should kinda be called a sport" Soooooo..... yeah.

A sport is defined as a trivial task made difficult.

A sport doesn't have to be exciting (which explains golf).

They did a good job making chess exciting in Series 6 of Doctor Who; they presented "Live Chess", whichl had an electrical current running through each of the pieces that increased every time a piece was moved. The idea was to beat your opponent, moving as many different pieces as possible to avoid a lethal shock.

[P0sitivity]

Does anyone here actually know how difficult golf is? It's perhaps more strategic than chess.
