Yes, it's a sport just like any other.  It is also the fastest growing high school sport in the nation.

You know Darts is a very very physically challenging sport. I mean you have to put all that power into your throw and you have to make sure your only half drunk. Very, very tough. But if darts can be called a sport and so can competitive eating I think competitive drinking should be as well after all most dart players are good at it.

Here is a definition of "sport" from Wikipedia:\n\n"A sport is an activity requiring physical ability, physical fitness or physical skill which usually, but not always, involves competition between two or more people."\n\nI would say that competitive and sideline cheerleading are sports.  There is physical demand and there are several physical skills that not everybody can posses, and it is not necessary to  compete to be considered a sport.\n\nI was never a cheerleader, I was one of those male major sport athlete where the cheerleaders cheered for me!  And I can't do those things that they do!

competitive dancing is definitely a sport. it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of sacrifices. if not competitive dancing it is an art.

I like bowling. Very portable and practical. I guess joints are too, but they keep burning and if you want to put it out for some reason, you have to worry about it and in the meantime you are wasting!

Bowling is fun.  I took my kids yesterday and my husband met us there after he was done working.  He loved it!  They aslo had pool tables and video games.  I've been on a few double dates at the bowling alley.  It's lots of fun!\nIce skating is fun too

I thought this was the answer but confirmed it with the link below.\n\nWhile not always viewed as a sport, the answer is NASCAR.

It is a sport, by any definition. People can say they don't think blue is a color either, but that doesn't mean they have any real facts to back up their assertions.

It is not really a sport, even though people that engage in this leisure activity will insist it is. Right up there with golf, ping-pong, and badminton.

It's kind of like band or twirling.  It's not considered a sport really but it is considered an extracurricular activity.  You can still get brownie points for it from colleges if that is why you are asking.

Good question! For the same reason that Chess is considered a sport.

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.

Is curling really a sport?  I thought you had to sweat in the matches to be a sport.

Definitely.  The word sport is defined as "Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively."  Cheerleading is just that.
