Is Darts really a sport?

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!!

i remember seeing darts on there even when i was a kid. if you can throw a dart into any spot on that board at will, that counts as a sport to me. i dont know that i'd consider them "athletes" though. never seen dominoes on there though.

In my opinion, no. If you don't like the sport, you're gonna have the worst time of your life. You should explore other sports and see which one you like. Only pursue the sport you really like because you're gonna have a good time with it.

Yes but all true sport has an element of danger.\n\nAnd to paraphrase from a movie I saw a while back "The Replacements"...\n\n... bones heal, chicks dig scars but glory is forever...

I don't know, I think it is very popular, for male and female, but maybe there is not enough talk about it, how they have more talk about Darts, I don't know. But I think they should add a lacrosse section

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.

It depends on whether one is a true cricket fan for its classic characteristics that no other sports offer. Not if you'd rather watch or play a fast-paced sport.

"A sport consists of a physical and mentally competitive activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or some combination of these. A sport has physical activity, side by side competition, self-motivation and a scoring system. The difference of purpose is what characterises sport, combined with the notion of individual (or team) skill or prowess."\n\nSo yes I say karate, tkd and almost every competetive martial arts is a sport!

I think is should be considered a sport.  reason: it is more of a challenge than people think.  Trying to avoid getting hit ( and believe me i have been hit too close to a place too many times) and trying to hit another person is very hard.  also it provides an adrenaline rush.  sure it is expensive but not where most people think it is.  most people think it is the gun when it is actually the paint.  in fact i think it should be added to the Olympics because there are teams all over the world that play the sport.  also a little history to show how fast it has grown.  it started in New Hampshire with just twelve people in 1980  a few years later there were companies investing in the sport now theres millions of players nd hundreds of companies.  its another great american sport.  thats why i consider it a sport

Who told you that it's not a sport? It's both athletic and aesthetic. Don't listen to anybody who criticizes your sport, or anything else that you do. After all, who cares what some small-minded pinhead thinks?

yes, its a sport... if your a little kid doing cheerleading with pom poms and your not doing any flips or strenious movement then no its not, but the older u get the more strenious cheerleading gets making it in fact a sport.

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