Is kickball a sport?

Answer

Of course. I put all variations of sportsball on the same playing field. Some sportsball are more fun to watch and we're willing to pay for the experience. Others are more fun to play when you're 5, like this one.

Do they wear skates when they kick the ball?

If you remember the sting and the smell of the rubber from the ball hitting your face, then you're allowed to call it a sport.

That's a pretty flimsy definition for a sport.

I rather hold my definition to a higher standard myself.

Not when you're a kid on concrete and asphalt in shorts it isn't.

Kickball was illegal in my public school as was dodge ball, because it was mean. The gym teachers still had us play both they would just say "now it's time to play blue ball" and then we'd know if they put Frisbees down for the bases it was going to be kickball. If they stretched a rope across the gym to divide it we knew it was dodge ball.

If I am wrong you should discuss in the right way. 

No skates + no boards + no pucks = Not a Sport

 

Its rather simple.

If soccer counts, then kickball counts.

Has an actual game of kickball been played post 5th grade though?
