Fishing is classed as a sport, these days. So is darts for the love of God.

Neither requires any actual physical exersion.

The term sport conjures up a picture of a physical ativity or game that players compete in.

I think someone removed the physical bit as a mutually exclusive term.

If Pool and Snooker are sports, and they are technically just 3d multiplayer games on a board, then why couldn't a 3d mulitplayer game shown on a screen be one?

I think the issue here is everyone's terminology of what a sport is.

Is it a game or is it a physical contest? Or both? Or either?

I don't really care biggrin:
