Do you consider other subjectively judged activities like figure skating,

Those are not sports either imo

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

No less than half the winter sports and gymnastics

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

3/18/23 10:05pm
I’m disagreeing with your definition of a sport. There are winners and losers in

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

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

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

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

This is my definition of a sport:

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

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

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

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

Redneck theater. That is the perfect description for WWE.

No.

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

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

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

Is golf?

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

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