–noun 1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.
From the Oxford English dictionary: sport
• noun 1 an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others.
Given that, how is boxing, UFC, etc not a sport? Just because you don't think it is?

So by that rationale, if I go into my backyard and my son and I try to throw dirt clods into a bucket, it is officially a sport?
I gotta go and contact the IOC and lobby to have dirt-clod tossing in the Beijing games, I am pretty good at it, and I can do our country proud.
