In utah drill team is considered a sport by The uhsaa

UHSAA Utah High School Activities Association

UHSAA is the leadership organization for fine arts and athletics in Utah.

Wikipedia says

Sport pertains to any form of physical activity or game,[1] often competitive and organised, that aims to use, maintain, or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants and, in some cases, entertainment to spectators.

I think sport is a big tent.

POLL: Is competitive Dance a sport?

Do you consider other subjectively judged activities like figure skating,

Hambone

3/18/23 10:00pm

Those are not sports either imo

bdizzle

3/18/23 10:02pm

It’s definitely athletic. Not a sport in the true sense though. Just like video

BlooCoog

3/18/23 10:00pm

No less than half the winter sports and gymnastics

Iron Coug

3/18/23 10:00pm

Gymnastics is for sure a sport. They are super talented athletes.

BlooCoog

3/18/23 10:03pm

Gymnastics is not a sport for the same reason Dance is not a sport

bdizzle

3/18/23 10:05pm

I’m disagreeing with your definition of a sport. There are winners and losers in

BlooCoog

3/18/23 10:16pm

I like that definition but my question would be why isn’t Dance considered a

bdizzle

3/18/23 11:27pm

But there are very objective and well defined parameters that determine the

Iron Coug

So are professional wrestlers... Is WWE a sport?

BYUtka

3/18/23 10:05pm

There is legit athleticism in professional wrestling, so yes a sport. But a dumb

BlooCoog

3/18/23 10:08pm

By that logic stunt men are in sports. Both are highly physical entertainment.

FallingRock

3/18/23 10:10pm

This is my definition of a sport:

BlooCoog

3/18/23 10:27pm

By definition a sport cannot be dumb so that also rules out WWE

bdizzle

3/18/23 10:14pm

Pickle Ball would disagree.

BYUtka

3/18/23 10:17pm

Lol there’s a good argument that pickleball is a game not a sport. First things

bdizzle

3/18/23 10:20pm

Then you’re not playing it the right way. Competitive pickle ball is definitely

BlooCoog

3/18/23 10:26pm

Yeah you’re right. Pickleball is just lame compared to Tennis imo. Very fun tho

bdizzle

3/18/23 11:29pm

No because that is 100% staged acting - it’s redneck theater.

RossoNeri

3/18/23 10:09pm

Gymnastics and Figure Skating routines are scripted, rehearsed and practiced,

BYUtka

3/18/23 10:15pm

But not judged or in a real competition

Ted Lasso

3/18/23 10:24pm

Except wwe is not a real competition. It is stage acting, like a play. If you

RossoNeri

3/19/23 8:24am

Redneck theater. That is the perfect description for WWE.

BlooCoog

3/18/23 10:33pm

No.

Iron Coug

3/18/23 10:13pm

If it can’t involve judges diving, figure skating, gymnastics, etc are not sport

RossoNeri

3/18/23 10:02pm

Iron Coug mentioned it - half the Winter Olympics would not be sports - judged

RossoNeri

3/18/23 10:04pm

Combat sports also.

3/18/23 10:06pm

I can't think of a sport that is not subjectively judged. Football may look

Iron Coug

3/18/23 10:13pm

So is Dance a sport or not? Maybe you don’t like my definition but curious what

bdizzle

3/18/23 10:15pm

Sure. I think dance is a sport. I'm inclusive I guess.

Iron Coug

3/18/23 10:20pm

Also the way you actually score points is not subjective. Who crossed the line

bdizzle

3/18/23 10:17pm

Football can hardly decide what's a catch, much less what's a hold. This is

Iron Coug

3/18/23 10:23pm

Is golf?

Soupie

3/18/23 10:27pm

Is college football? The scoring system in most judged sports is more objective

Benji Schwimmer or Cael Sanderson? Which is the greatest Mormon Athlete?

Sure but by that definition pretty much anything is a sport. Who can mow the

Is eSport really a sport?

LeGrandBleu

3/18/23 11:26pm

Sports require defense. The others are athletic events.

AggieWeekendCougar

3/18/23 11:37pm

So BYU basketball is not a sport?

3/19/23 6:17am

So no golf, swimming, or track and field?

My daughters worked/practiced harder for Poms than any sport my boys played.

JamieTartt

3/19/23 6:50am

Should have let your boys wrestle. Joseph Smith was a wrestler. Chael Sonnen

calvindyer

3/19/23 9:22am

My boys worked hard at soccer and track but nothing like Poms.

JamieTartt

3/19/23 10:11am

Yeah the boys get pampered in POMS as the only dudes
