THE FOLLOWING

Golfing.
Seriously people, "Oh my gosh, Tiger Woods won with an injury! Let's make him our god!"

How about all the runners who have kept going in marathons when they're hurt? How about that??

gOLFING IS A SPORT IN MY OPINION

i GOT KINDA PISSED WATCHING THAT DOCUMENTARY KING OF KONG ABOUT THE GAMERS.One guy called himself an athlete and i got angry, he said it takes about the same amount of work. Does that ahole get up at 5 in the morning when he doesnt want to to run 10 miles

hah my friend is a cheerleader and she goes on and on about how it's a sport and how much muscle she has.

i just keep it to myself, but i don't really think cheerleading is a sport.

My friend thinks marching band's a sport... I don't.
I'm sure it's tough to walk around with a giant instrument or twirl around a giant flag in colorguard, but I still don't think that qualifies it as a sport...

And they're thinking about putting chess in the Olympics.

Also, if cheerleading doesn't count as a sport then what about gymnastics as well.. since it's a "panel of judges" judging both. Or even ice skating.

IMO, competition cheerleading is a sport, but regular cheerleading (standing on the side of a football field waving pom-poms) is not.

I would say they're both around the same achievement, degrading golf in this instance only hurts your argument.

I don't think either are. =/

That reminds me of the time I got a letter from this Scholar Athlete program last winter, and one of the "sports" was chess. Seriously, anyone smart enough to be invited to something like that can do chess.

This is actually kind of funny seeing this discussion on a running forum as well.. considering many people don't think track is a sport...

those people are idiots who need to actually go do it, then tell us if it deserves the title of "sport".

one of my friends is a cheerleader and we always argue about that. But she also does hurdles and basketball so she is an athlete.

Some of them kinda are because they usually are gymnasts too, unless they're the kind that just stomp and yell.

Maybe that's what people who do the respective sport would say about something like gymnastics or golf.

Point being: Most people think just running isn't considered a sport, a feat of athleticism it is but not a sport.

Yet somehow NASCAR drivers are more fit than most baseball players. Racing require a lot of concencration, strength, and endurance. Also I'll agree poker is not a sport, but it is also an entertainment and very competetive and rakes in a lot of money for ESPN.

I know! they may practice all day, but it's not a sport.
I appreciate what they do, but I don't like it when people insist that it is
go do a real sport if you want to boast about your athletic endeavors.
& I don't think cheerleading is a real sport either.

I agree, they may not think it's a "real" sport like football, but they don't put it on the same level as ballet and cheer leading.

I love when they say "so and so lost _ pounds" in sports like baseball and football, that shows how lacking their fitness is in that particular area.

i think golf, and competitive cheerleading are definitnly sports.
im borderline on just normal cheerleading.
and i agree about nascar not being a sport.

hahaha i was watching the chapelle show last night and he had this hilarious segmant about poker and dice being on espn. i love him.
