   I’ve never, never been able to accept darts as a ‘sport’.
   

   
   Or snooker/pool/billiards.
   

   
   Or synchronised swimming.

   Discretion is the better part of valor, there is no shame in retreat, and there’s an exit just to your right- I suggest you put it to use!

   You left out figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics – actually ANY sport that requires a judging panel pretty much ….

   There’s a sports columnist around these parts who insists that any sport that requires judges to determine a winner is no sport at all. By that standard, if a boxing match ends with one fighter flat on the canvas, it’s a sport; but if it goes the distance and goes to the cards, it’s not?

   I have no idea what Nascar is.
   

   
   Bowling is, I agree, not a sport. Bowls, however, may be.
   

   
   I have to disagree regarding soccer. Played properly, as it is here in the North East of England, it is not merely a sport – it is a blood sport!

    I agree – neither of those are sports (though they may be ‘sports’), and a judging panel does squash the whole idea of sporting excellence, though KM has made an interesting comment about boxing matches.
    

    
    However, boxing could be defined as a sport in that two supremely fit and well-trained individuals are competing against each other. Personally I regard boxing more as keeping Head Injury Units in work.
    

    
    Can I add that there is no way that pro wrestling is a sport (no-one has mentioned it, so I thought I would). It is more a clumsy ballet with bellies and beards . . .
