What sport do you play or have played in the past?

[Bonzi]

I could not possibly list EVERYTHING that people consider sports...

Billiards
Darts
Poker
Bowling (actually, that is a good one I missed... I love to bowl!)

clay shooting

target shooting

bass fishing

to name a few

I fish. Mostly deep sea. Have fished from the pier several times also

awesome

I never thought I would like it.... I really love pier fishing because it's like a social too - if it's too crowded it sucks cause you have to be really careful about crossing lines etc. But it's nice being out there at 3 or 4 am.... we have been out fishing from 8pm to sun up....

sometimes we shore fish out here mostly for crappies or cat fish

when i fish on the pier I normally catch spots or croakers... I did catch a ribbon fish once, that was VERY COOL!

Our football team (on which I was one of the captains) were state champs my senior year. That was as far as I could go in football. Wrestling, which paid for my undergraduate degrees, is of course the greatest sport in the history of man. There are a lot of sports and other ways to stay in shape, and they are all good, I suppose. Whatever floats your boat.

It's interesting to hear what "athletes" are on here. There's a lot of dedication to a sport, and, I find normally those involved in sports have a particular passion for one.

Mine is tennis.

Skydiving is not a sport as I define it especially the oh so popular tandem jumps where you're just along for the ride

Never done a tandem.

Never done a tandem.

Still I don't consider skydiving a sport

There are activities and there are sports

Which you assert but don't back up, as usual.

None of those are sports

I've been an avid pool player for more than 20 years and believe me when I tell you that it is not a sport

It's a game, an activity

 

[cnm]

Who on earth cares? But don't you think you should define 'sport'?

Sports require athleticism and competition
Kyaking around a lake is not a sport
Olympic kayaking is

But you probably can't see the difference

Tell me what athleticism does it take to sit in a plane fall for a while and then pull a rip cord?

I've known a lot of out of shape people who skydive

One of my best friends used to get stoned off his gourd before a jump so not a sport

Sports require athleticism and competition

So that's your definition? Well I've competed in quite a few skydiving competitions, and everyone is pretty athletic.

Btw, your definition really, really sucks.

Yeah and in yours anyone can be an athlete even people who sit on their asses

I enjoy the smugnes of your ignorance.

I've jumped before

I took some certification classes but stopped because of an injury

And really it wasn't very physically demanding my instructor had a fat belly and smoked like a fucking chimney

Yet I have not defined 'sport'.

So it's someone else's fault you weren't athletic and didn't compete.
