What does 'Sport' mean to you?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
Need to know this for research from different people. Basically if you had to give a definition of what sport is to you... how would you define it?

Don't copy something off the internet because I want to know how you perceive sport since different people have differing opinions on what sport is.

Contests of individual or team members strive for victory. Tennis, golf, swimming, track and field, gymnastics, etc, etc. Each sport has a winning team/individual and a loosing team/individual.

There are such a wide variety of activities that are termed "sports", it's hard to come up with a good definition.

Consider that in some circles chess is considered a sport.

We might add the element of competition....But individual sports like hunting and fishing and rock climbing don't feature competition, unless you consider man vs. nature or man vs. animal as "competition.

There is often a blurry line between "sport" and "game"... I mentioned chess, how about darts? Some would consider it to be either one.

I would think a sport would include elements like competition, acquired physical skill, and so forth. But obviously some would not agree.

Boredom

A physical activity using lots of energy in which you compete against others.

pointless pain...
