things that aren't sports.

[hi_im_god]

1)darts, pool, poker, bowling, and fishing.

any event that is played in a bar, in proximity to a bar, or with a cooler of beer nearby are not sports.

2)competetive eating.

circus freaks are not athlete's.

3)spelling bees.

if no one over 12 ever competes, it's not a sport. you are on notice cup stacking.

i'm asking that all of you vacate my sports channel. thank you.

If pool isn't a sport how come cats like Willie Mosconi and Minnesota Fats often wore a sport coat while playing???

[hi_im_god]

anything you can win while wearing a sportscoat isn't a sport.

Swordfighting is a sport...and so is ping-pong!

[MaTH716]

I think the rule is, if you can't bet on it and there is no chance for serious injury then it is not a sport. So swordfighting on fits half the criteria. Sorry.

maybe this will help...

So does that mean Scrabble is a sport?
