And to answer what is a sport...when I think of a sport I think of physical activity (basketball-ball hockey etc) but also I think a sport is where the opponents can actively stop you/your team from winning...for example I don't consider golf a 'sport' because it's all on you if you do good or bad....where as in for example basketball your opposition can actively try and stop you from scoring/winning the game by stealing the ball, blocking you etc
Or marathon running?
Decathalon is not a sport?
Speaking of definitions of sports...
People argue that poker, bowling, and darts are sport because of the fact that they're broadcasted on sports channels.
I don't understand why any of them are on the likes of Sportsnet, TSN, or ESPN, and I definitely can't bare to watch any of them. This also goes with fishing.
I also don't consider any type of motor racing a sport.

Took me nearly two hours to bring in a 140lb swordfish. Had to take a 15 minute break, hand over the rod, because I was exhausted.
I don't think you have driven anything worthy to know how hard motor racing is at certain levels.

Winners never give up.
Those left turns can be tricky
Have you ever heard of Formula One?
Has anyone seen "Rush"?
No doubt NASCAR is not as physical as F1, but you have to have strength to drive these cars the distances they cover.
I was joking...but tbh I don't consider it a sport, it's not a physical activity
“You hear it so much and we all have heard it for years – I mean people don’t even appreciate how physical a go-kart is – the forces that are put on our bodies are similar to that of fighter pilots,†said IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe, who has a series-high three wins this year.
“It’s not like hockey where you do a two-minute shift and then sit for five minutes or like football where you are flat out for 10 seconds and then rest for minute. It literally is twice the length of a soccer match, but your heart rate is going higher and you’re using a lot more muscle in your body – they are just obviously using their legs and their lungs – we are using an incredible amount of upper body, an incredible amount of core, neck, it really takes every muscle group in the body to successfully drive a race car.â€
“We found their oxygen consumption was that of someone who swims competitively in the 1,500 metres or runs in a marathon,†said Olvey, who was also medical director for the now-defunct Championship Auto Racing Teams (later Champ Car) for two decades.
“There is no question that drivers are well-trained and very fit athletes. You can’t be competitive in IndyCar or Formula One or any of the open-wheel series and not be in peak physical condition.
