    Poker, Competitive Eating, Competitive Video Gaming, Pool, and that cup stacking thing should not be considered sports.

    While I admit pool takes skill, it's more of a game than a sport.

    AND by the way, if you don't consider golf a sport, your simply stupid. I'm not the biggest fan of it either, but you go out and play a few rounds and THEN tell me its not a sport. Yes it's a bit boring to watch, but it is clearly a sport.

    Competitive eating. It makes me laugh to hear guys who can stuff 50 hot dogs in their mouths in under a minute referred to as "athletes".

    Why not? What argument do you have for it not being a sport?
    Anyways, the child does seem passionate enough ;)

    I think sports to be physical activity. But they are just sitting, chatting, smiling, embarrassing, shaking heads, laughing..........
    I just hate this sports......:mad:

    My gut feeling tells me is car races like F1. I mean you need skills yes, but you are still dependant on how good or how crappy your car is.

    Compare that to a swimmer or sprinter who is trains hard everyday to be in top condition. Well i guess its relative.
