    My vote for not a sport is equestrian. Not the way the olympics does it. Now left them rope and wrestle cattle and that is a sport!

    Word!

    Now by looking at your picture how did I know you would agree with me? HAHA Yea Haw!!!!

    ANYTHING with a judge deciding the outcome is NOT a sport.

    Bodybuilding, halfpipe, gymnastics, figure skating....awesome activities but not sports.

    yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggg! I shall push my definition upon you and you will comply! You will comply or be obliterated.

    Obliterated.... is that a sport? Any sportsman like activity involved.... mayhaps? Probably not.

    But here's a sport that needs to be in the Olympics... Rugby!

    Sport (or, in the United States, sports) is all forms of competitive physical activity which,[1] through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical fitness and provide entertainment to participants

    I'm sorry, but I automatically don't take you seriously when you use "r" instead of "are."

    sport: [spawrt, spohrt]
    noun
    1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature.

    That would be the dictionary proving your opinion doesn't constitute fact.


    enough said.

    Beach volley ball? Really? Volleyball in general... come on this is a drinking game not a sport!

    MMA should replace this crap.

    I completely disagree....


    I don't really believe shooting is a sport (and is currently being competed, and awarding Olympic medals), it does take skill sure, but not physically.... gymnastics, diving and swimming all require physical skill and fitness, and belong in the Olympics.

    Do you shoot? Skeet, and sporting clay shooting most certainly do take physical skill, strength, and great reflexes and hand-eye coordination. People who master these skills are normally great atheletes in other sports as well.

    You show me a MMA fighter who looks as good as the Brazilian womens vollyball team and I will agree with you.
    Until then...
    Wait. What were we talking about again?

    Just because it's hard doesn't qualify it automatically.
