I got this right?
No, actually. What I'm telling you is that "staring" is not an act. There's no such thing as "the act of staring" that you mention. Staring, if you really want to get down to it, is the absense of action. Staring is NOT moving your eyes, and usually also means not moving anything else either.

NOT moving your eyes is not an action. It's not an act. It is literally doing nothing. I don't think you can give an unsporting T for doing nothing.
A mouse being stared at by a cat might disagree.
