wikipedia defines sports as:

 

A sport is commonly defined as an organized, competitive, and skillful physical activity requiring commitment and fair play. It is governed by a set of rules or customs. In a sport the key factors are the physical capabilities and skills of the competitor when determining the outcome (winning or losing). The physical activity involves the movement of people, animals and/or a variety of objects such as balls and machines. In contrast, games such as card games and board games, though these could be called mind sports, require only mental skills. Non-competitive activities such as jogging and rock-climbing, are usually classified as recreations.

 

Physical events such as scoring goals or crossing a line first often define the result of a sport. However the degree of skill in some sports such as diving, dressage and figure skating is judged according to well-defined criteria. This is in contrast with other judged activities such as beauty pageants and body-building shows, where skill does not have to be shown and the criteria are not as well defined.

*********************

Therefore...from the average persons compilation of the definition... "dart , pool , boling , golf" are sports. You seem to be projecting a narrower definition of a sport...versus a game.

 

The term discipline refers to the acquired sphere of knowledge acquired when inferring an academic perspective. May also be defined as the information passed on as a disciple from the master.

 

Darts is a sport... So there!

Throwing a dart is like throwing a football. You need strength, precision and agility for both...

The England team went to visit an orphanage in South Africa this morning. "It feels good to put a smile on the faces of people with no hope, who are constantly struggling and facing the impossible" said Jamal Umboto aged 6!!

I am in Germany right now and it is a lot more fun watching soccer when you are in an outdoor beer garden with a thousand screaming Germans haha Giant TV screen and beer always a good combination! I watched a live match of a local club and it was much more interesting live than on TV. Go Deutschland!

Honestly...what are you watching more...Soccer on TV or the women serving the beer?

i think the wc soccer will become more enjoyable now that the teams have to win...instead of just not lose. when the wc was in the usa i finally learned the rules and strategy (enough anyway) and certainly gained an appreciation of the game that i didn't have before.

 

however, it is even more boring watching a soccer team try to protect a 1-0 lead than a hockey team trying to do the same.
