The whole discussion about what is and what isn't a sport is interesting.
Lawn bowling for instance was part of Commonwealth Games for many, many years.(Not sure if it still is.) Have you seen some of those lawn bowlers? Granted it takes skill, but athleticism???
How about darts or billiards(pool)?? Again a great deal of skill but wouldn't really call them sports.
As well, things such as lumberjack competitions, caber tossing, or even some construction jobs. All of these require a great deal of atheticism but are these really sports???
