I think a sport is a competitive game that involves some amount of skill.
Like that is a good point, than sports are categorized into another section. Like is it physical or not? Cause football endures like running around work out and such, yet golf you just hit the ball into a hole which doesn't really compare to getting tackled.Quote:

I dont think of Ping pong as much of a sport, but it is. There are probally others we have never heard of in Africa or some other place like that that are considered sports.
It should be a sport only because it is difficult for new players you have to practice however people who have abnormal luck could do very well at it, this goes for almost any sport.
ok, no offense to golfers but if golfing is a sport then bowling should be. and look at all those other obscure sports like curling!!! I dont even know why that's in the olympics
same thing with gold,it shouldnt be a sport,but i takes skill,do be a sport it requires a decent amount of physical movement,not running 10 feet and rolling a 10 foot ball,or in golfs case,1 swing,get in a car,another swing,get in car,they dont even carry their own shiot!Quote:

Would people pay to see it?Quote:

It takes a ton of skill to re-create some of the shots seen in professional bowling.
