So lets break it down. What exactly turns an activity into a sport and why?

No need to apologise!!!

Any competition that requires extreme physical and mental exertion is a sport. However, I have much a stricter definition for what an "athlete" is.

Golf is a sport, but I don't consider golfers athletes.

Nascar is a sport, but drivers aren't athletes either.


When I'm looking for something to watch on TV. I go straight to the sports channels, ESPN, ESPN2 , whatever. And it is so stupid to see the World Series of Poker on ESPN. How the hell is playing cards a sport. Don't they have a game show network or something for that s**t.
