SPORTS

What is a sport? The other day someone brought up the old discussion of what is a sport. Here is my take.

Sport is too big a word. Too many things are sports. We need new words. I'll leave it to someone else to make up the words. Here are the things I think it takes to be a real sport. After you read my definition and see what things I consider it takes to make a real sport, think about whether your favorite pasttimes are included.

Real sports are competitions between individual athletes or teams using strategy and incorporating both offense and defense the outcome of which is determined by an objective means (no judging).
