Sports

1. an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

I sumarily reject your definition amd shall add that soccer, although a good game, is ALSO NOT A SPORT!

Sports are culturally-approved means of physically expressing our aggression and desire for dominance within an approved sphere. Due to the lack of violence and genuine concern for player safety, therefore, baseball is de-facto not a sport and is more fitting to be in the same category as tea parties.

I have doubts about this.

Ah, yes, the ‘tea party’ where one of the participants can throw a 100-mph projectile at another participant with the intention of hitting him because he/his team/ his whatever didn’t sit right with the other guys and it’s all just part of the game (or at least to some of the teams). 
 

Also, don’t know how many times I’ve heard this last month different announcers for teams say, oh so and so is back from injury and they’ll just have to play through the pain.

Baseball may or may not be a sport, but one thing for sure there is no crying allowed.

100mph projectile?  That can cuase then to spill their tea!

The Rocket played with a broken hand and a broken foot and never complained; cry me a river about playing through the pain!

With all the allegations coming up from different sports about all the drugs and exact surgical regimens, it's concerning.  Just because you can play through pain, doesn't mean you should.

I experienced it myself, with a PE teacher who, although I had a doctor's note saying I was not to participate in the class due to a sprain, insisted I do some exercise and I reinjured the joint.  Delayed healing and never really being right after that.

The best use of a baseball field is to make an outdoor hockey rink!

At least hockey players know how to fight. Baseball players just run at each other.

Unfortunately the 'woke' society is getting rid of that fascinating aspect of the sport.

Sad world we live in...

It's a game. Like cards, or bocce ball.

If it doesn't involve rough physical contact (and fighting is entirely not allowed), then it is not a sport. Baseball and soccer are not sports, they are games. They're trying to turn football into a mere game, as well.

NFL is considering 'Touch football' rules??

[dominicansoul]

Not only is it a sport, it's the GREATEST SPORT OF ALL TIME!  

 

The questions should be, is GOLF a sport????  Is CURLING a sport?????
