Baseball????Baseball is not a sport. Bowling and golf are activities.
Everything about baseball is a sport!
I kinda agree with some of the stuff, but baseball makes me skeptical.

Lacrosse can't make up what damn sport it is.
I never understood how competitive fishing is considered to be a sport.
Enstraynomic - League of Legends
TheEnst - Starcraft II
rowing is easily the ultimate sport, requires endurance and massive amounts of strength, not to mention mental endurance ect.
Boxing (how it used to be, instead of 2 round knockout crap) is physically demanding.
I do debating at my school, I would hardly consider it a sport even though it requires you to beat the opposing team.
you people need to go play baseball at a high level. the coordination and dexterity you need is quite high. you can't base it on the pick up game you play with you friends where everyone's so bad that all you end up doing is standing around getting sunburnt
At first I saw that and thought, "Lol some guy messing around at an indoor cycling championship." Then I thought, "Wait? Why would they be on stationary bikes and not in a velodrome?" Then I saw links on the side for other videos of the Korean Indoor Cycling Gymnastic Championships. What is in the water in Korea?
Baseball. Not so much questioning it being a sport so much as I really hate the MLB. It's destroyed the game. :\

I once had a character named "Clamslam" but Blizzard deemed it inappropriate.Retired from WoW: February 19, 2011. It was fun Blizz.
Starcraft.
There were also definitions like "requires skill" and "competing againts others" in the OP, and motorsports contains all that.
If there was a sport of fighter pilots competing againts each other in a certain way I would call it a sport.
I just picked up the physical part about motorsports, because that's what many clueless people say when they talk about motorsports. "How hard is to to turn a wheel, hehehehehee"
''If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let their be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.'' Quoted from-
I can name many but two of the most popular that should never be considered a sport according to definition are: NASCAR and golf. At least golf takes some skill.
golf and darts
ESPORTS
nah jk ESPORTS is teh best and will always be a sport
banned 5 times and still counting
This. One thousand times this.
All the definitions I could see in this thread were completely flawed.
And because apparently some people don't know yet, a normal human brain consumes a LOT of energy (up to 20% of the total) and mind exercise can be physically intensive, somehow.
There's also endurance in those not-so-physical-games, you have to be 100% efficient 100% of the time and that demands a LOT of practice and strength.
Many of you apparently think at their own casual level (or even better, an wow-nolifer standpoint, the kind of people who spend a hell lot of time doing sports.... on tv!), but think of it from an extreme-level standpoint where any little detail counts.
So..
No, ping-pong is not for kids, that's a really demanding sport. (olympics anyone ?
No, badminton is not for women, that's a really demanding sport. (hell, ever seen it at the olympics again ?)
No, horse-riding is not like sitting on a chair, not at all, it takes loads and loads of time to be average, and doing it at an extreme level is just as demanding as any other sport, just differently.
No, golfing is not like walking in a park and randomly hitting the ball.
etc, etc, etc.
I hear that all the time, every single time those people don't have a clue what they're talking about. Really, you should try or at least inform you before talking about it.
Anything with a W in front of it.
WNBA for example.
Whaleshark /spits on your science.
That's a good point ofcourse, one of the few. It is true that the power that moves you itself doesn't exactly come out of your body, but things like steering and general control of the vehicle demand so much precision, fitness and balls that it would be ignorant to class it as "not a sport".
Now if we want to start talking things with two different terms "motorsports" and "sports" then that's a different story I guess. But the "sport" in motorsport is still there.
But, if you do it with a friend, trying to be better at it than he/she is, then it would!
