Golf
Nascar
Any Racing Activity
Most(not all) Extreme Sports
Bowling
Poker(Listed because they show it on ESPN all the time)
Pool

I can\'t see how someone can argue that these are sports and the people who participate are athletes.


Golf - As Winston Churchill put it, "one way to ruin a perfecly good walk"

Nascar - It\'s boring but there is an art to slipstreaming and it fairly tactical.

Bowling - No, it\'s a game to play when you can\'t get a pool table.

Poker - No, sitting at a table gambling everything including your shirt on getting a Queen is just stupid.

Pool - Yes, it differs from Bowling in that there are a lot more possibilities on how things can go, with bowling you either knock them all down or have a couple left, how crap and boring is that?!

No they are not sports. You can be a fatass pig and do all those things. They are only sports for people who were nothing but losers in school and could not excel at real sports.

Enters chess:rolleyes:

What about darts?

Most "professional" darts players are fat bastards who spend all day drinking at the pub.

It has rules during the competitions. Therefor it is a sport.

I agree to some level. Professional bowling seems so sad where its basically to see who cant bowl a perfect game. I see too many of those asses making strikes each time.

Biased i guess, id still like to consider it a sport since i love to bowl and use different techniques, but in my realm nobody is a 300 bowler and the Ball&Lane conditions always change. So I guess its not... to some.

I definately wouldn\'t go that far. You can be a fat ass pig and do most sports(Basketball = Shawn Kemp; Baseball = David Wells; Football = Take your pick). It really has nothing to do with not excelling at "real" sports. I\'m sure the average participant in all those activities would whoop your ass for saying that too. Which leads to boxing.

BTW, I found out today that I have to take a golf class as part of my business major program. Which is kind of funny.

^^^Kind of funny considering the fact that I was(and still am to an extent) a varsity jock.

4 Years Varsity Football
3 Years as Varsity Football Starter - OLB, FB
2 Years Varsity Baseball Starter - 1B
Indoor Track & Field - 4x1, Shot Put

Recruited by some colleges to play Football (Mostly 2, Some 1AA)

But enough about me. Regale the rest of us with your illustrious intramurals career. :rolleyes:

My best time ever was a 10.7

Never even came close to that again though. I usually averaged an 11.2-3

Thats damn fast, I\'ve always been a runner but did tennis instead of track.  Never ran the 100 though.  Logged about a 52 second 400 and ran the 40 in a 4.4.

Wait, I want to turn this into a golf sport thread.  So what do some of you normally shoot on a par 72?
