I think all of these are sports.

If you knock someone out there are no one to judge in boxing. They are judged in boxing about as much as we do in basketball. We have to determine if they follow the rules and if you leave to the officials, you might not like the result.

I never said I thought gymnastics was a sport. Just because the sport is in the Olympics does not make it a sport if you ask me.
