champben2002 said:I define sport as having to be a zero-sum game. There is one winner and one looser, no 2nd, 3rds, etc in each event. Otherwise its just a competition.
So Cross Country isn't a sport? Marathon races aren't a sport? Look at how many events in the Olympics have several people competing against each other. They have a winner and people finishing behind, so you have a 2nd, 3rd, etc.
From the dictionary:
Sport: (2) : a particular activity (as an athletic game) so engaged in
Athlete: a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina
Driving at those speed and controlling the car takes strength and stamina. Drivers work out and train.
