>>Ok we agree on that. But I don't agree with your definition of sport. I think 99.99% of the people would agree that your typical board game, including Twister, or card any game, is not a sport. But I think that 99.99% of the people would agree with me that things like swimming, golf and running is a sport.

>You're probably right in the sense of a dictionary definition of 'sport', but for me, a sport needs to have real competition. Comparing to scores or two times that have really nothing much to do with each other other than that somebody wants to compare them, does not make it a sport (imho). Heck, you don't even need a second person to engage in those so-called 'sports'.

>I mean, where would it stop? Is an art competition, or a photography competition a sport, just because somebody is comparing people's efforts? Not for me.

Yes I agree. I don't go for events that are "judged", such as gymnastics and figure skating. Although I do recognize that they in that category of sport and that they are not anything like art and photography.
