    What is a sport?

    In my world, it is an event where a person or team uses physical talents to better another person or team.

    Dear ESPN, poker is NOT a sport. It is merely a comepetition.

    Thanks.

    And I hate to admit it, but Crossift is a sport.

    I still say golf is not a sport....A skill yes, however it is not a sport.

    You can hit the ball straight as an arrow and know exactly where to hit it, but without physical prowess you aren't going to be able to shoot under 90.
    That's what makes it a sport.
    What physical prowess? It's a skill set, and not any more physical than an average guy being able to swing a club correctly and precisely. One doesn't have to be physically fit to play it. Look at how many 50 to 60 year old pro's there are that can't probably jump up in the air without injury their knee or ankle.

    First, there's maybe 5 pros who are over 50. And they don't win. Shows how much you watch golf.

    Track and field is not a sport.

    If you can't buy a fan jersey for it, it's a game or a pastime.
