geetarplayer Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 What about figure skating? That's a sport. So take away the ice and the skates and you've got dancing. Still a sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TempleofVesarius Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) 3. An active pastime; recreation. so if i break a sweat sewing a quilt, quilting then becomes a sport there is a difference between practical definitions and dictionary definitions Edited August 25, 2003 by TempleofVesarius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodsGrace Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 hey I was just giving a definition...oh & if you break a sweat quilting, then you've got a SERIOUS perspiration problem, and you need to get to a doc right away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetarplayer Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 (edited) ToV, by your definition, people with hyperhydrosis--that is, people who have swolen sweat glands--make their whole lives one big sport. -Mark Edited August 26, 2003 by geetarplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Cheering.... NOT A SPORT not even art its pathetic peppiness and jumping up and down I have to agree. Yes, it's hard work. Hey, I was a majorette (otherwise known as baton twirlers) for four years and I don't think it's a sport. Even though in parts of the country they have major competitions and stuff. Plus, I agree with the whole peppiness thing. Every single cheerleader is peppy (that I've met). Not that it's a bad thing (sometimes it is) but it is kinda annoying. Plus, I don't really care about this at all. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A0N7G Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 not true, i dont think i am what someone would call...peppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Is it bad that every time I read a post about cheerleading I snort and laugh and think of Bring It On? Peppy.... can we say "Spirit Fingers"??? "I'm sexy, I'm cute, I'm popular to boot...." "Follow me or perish sweater monkeys." (I confess, in college we rented this movie constantly until we finally bought it for my friend for her birthday. If I watched it today I could probably talk through the whole thing quoting most of the lines. It was so ridiculously funny, a great thing to mindlessly watch after a tough day of classes or midterms. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
