Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 810953, member: 874"] I have a very narrow definition of sport. To be a sport I require the activity to include running and/or jumping to try and score points while an opponent attempts to deny you those points and attempts to score their own. By my narrow definition, track & field wouldn't be a sport. This, despite me loving it and having run track in high school and a short time in college. I have a separate designation for activities such as track, swimming, gymastics, etc. I call them athletic endeavors (nit picky, I know). They all require some sort of speed, endurance, agility, and technique (add it together and you have athleticism), but lack opposition. While it's true that there are competitors, no one competing can actively prevent an opponent doing something. [/QUOTE]
