For me we can start with anything you can do while drinking
(goodbye pool, darts, bowling, fishing/hunting, and slow pitch softball)
or sitting (adios poker). Auto racing (just so noone thinks I'm picking
on NASCAR I include F1 and Indy car), golf and tennis (anything the fans
are discouraged from cheering at is NOT a sport), figure skating,
gymnastics, and boxing (all athletic events that put the result in the
hands of judges). I'm sure I could go on but I'm sure I've stirred up
quite a hornet's nest so I'll leave it at this.happy

I don't consider hunting a sport, and certainly wouldn't do it while
drinking.

Frisbee/disc-golf? Yeah, that falls in with the drinking ones.

Quite the contrary, I didn't say they didn't require skill, I simply
said they weren't sports. Crocheting requires skill but it's not a
sport either. What DO I think is a sport? Baseball, football, hockey,
basketball, soccer, volleyball, and rugby (yes there are others); my
point is is that the ones I just named, noone will argue that they
aren't sports. Hell, you saw the ridicule Droxfo heaped upon poker
right?

Mark Twain's assessment of golf: "A good walk wasted."

Hey Lex,
Is llama juggling a sport or a hobby?

Depends if it's team or individual. The team version actually uses
stats and standings, so that's a sport. Even has its own minor league
system, although they use cats because they're smaller.

No problem, BG. It's a technical thing, they keep changing the rules
every couple years. Next season, they're going to sudden-death
ostriches.

fun

Drox, it sounds good until you have to deal with the feline distemper
and mange. And that was just my ex-wife.
