When I was younger I had a list of things that made something a sport.
A yes to any makes it a sport.
1 Does it involve a ball. (Shape doesn't matter)
2 does it involve hitting something with a stick?
3 do the competitors wear numbers?
* there may have been others designed specifically to include sports I liked, but I don't remember them.
Soccer? Sport
Figure skating? Not a sport. Or at least it wasn't until the whole Nancy Kerrigan thing.
