I don't know... badminton is a great sport, I like playing it, but many people consider it to be an activity, not a sport. Yahoo please put badminton in thank you.

Define Sport!! I play darts, but don't actually classify darts as a sport. I play darts to socialise with friends, Also to get away from the missus on a Monday night!!

Yes they are, as are the arts. Sports teach students teamwork, which is an essential employment function.

There is no strict dividing line between a game and a sport.  Golf is a game and also a sport. Any sport will also be a game but all games would not be sports e.g. snakes and ladders or monopoly.  There is more of a competetive aspect to sport. Sports are more physical whereas games can be physical or mental.

well, what do you consider "an athlete"? After all, ESPN continues endless coverage of Texas Hold 'Em tournaments, right? And seeing as that's the SPORTS network, are they implying that those poker players are athletes (since, in my humble opinion, whether or not an activity qualifies as a sport is determined by whether or not the participants are athletes)...well now, it's not much of a stretch to say that if you play NHL HITZ on PS2, then you're an athlete? Hmm...regardless...my dearest Ari, you are indeed an athlete! If that fatty with the cigar in his mouth is an athlete, I'm SURE you're an athlete too! So, it's entirely possible that yes, you may have athlete's foot. \n\nGod bless sarcasm! ; )

Yes.Unlike football, players play both.When your team is batting a player is on offense.When your team is in the field you are on defence.

It's classified as a sport (a competition between two people or two groups of people). Chess is a sport.\nSumo wrestling is a sport except sumo wrestlers are at least twice the size of a darts player. Besides which there are thin and medium sized darts players. Fishing is classed as a sport but I cannot see the point of sitting on a river bank for hours on end with the company of a plastic tub full of maggots.\nI recommend that you invest in a dictionary, flip through the pages to the letter S (it comes after R) and then look for sp then spo, then spor and finally sport - you may read exactly what it does mean.\nI do see your point though - darts is not a very good sport and most of the professional players are overweight.\nPlease excuse the sarcasm but the last week has been one of those 'why the hell did I bother' weeks.

Of course.\n\nIf you are an athletic person, you can play plenty of sports.  You may not be a pro in each of them, but you can certainly enjoy them.  I know plenty of soccer players who enjoy football, or tennis, or hockey, or baseball, or basketball, or volleyball.\n\nPlaying in one sport doesn't limit your ability to play others.  And 4 isn't a big number.

Generally speaking, no. Wrestling is a secondary sport in terms of media coverage and school support in most places, with basketball getting the lion's share of coverage and support. Still, there are exceptions in locales where there is a perennial state or national power in the sport.

It isn't. According to dictionary.com, a sport requires physical activity and compotition. While chess gives you compotition, i don't see many buffed-up chess players.
