That was covered in the OP. The participants can be/are athletes, but the event isn’t a sport
My bad, I forgot yours was the only opinion that counts.

Hence... golf and auto racing. Something can require athletic ability and still not be a true sport. That doesn't mean it can't be a fun thing to watch or require lots of skill.That was covered in the OP. The participants can be/are athletes, but the event isn’t a sport
"Sport must have direct conflict between opponents, or have an opponent directly involved in stopping you from achieving your goal."Correct. Its a game.

Something being a sport or not has zero effect on my enjoyment of it. I love auto racing. Not worth arguing it’s validity as a sport. I enjoy it either wayHence... golf and auto racing.

An example of "sport". Especially in quote marks if you're a fake 7th Dan or a lanky Eye-talian douche from Fresno.
well this conclusion would have Chess being more of a sport than Boxing.Sport must have direct conflict between opponents, or have an opponent directly involved in stopping you from achieving your goal.
There is no direct contact in baseball, unless you count the glimpses of tagging a runner. There is no one trying to stop the pitcher from throwing, and such. Its a game."Sport must have direct conflict between opponents, or have an opponent directly involved in stopping you from achieving your goal."
that kind of contradicts your definition on what a sport is
Chess requires no physical ability, its a game.well this conclusion would have Chess being more of a sport than Boxing.

No, I didn't know that, but, hey, fuck me, I'm in the presence of true greatness.
I dont disagree. Just going off of your quote on that oneChess requires no physical ability, its a game.
Boxing is absolutely a sport. Two people face off, and physically try to beat the other person.
yeah, but the pitcher is directly involved in attempting to prevent the batter from achieving his goal (hitting the ball), and vise versa.There is no direct contact in baseball, unless you count the glimpses of tagging a runner.

It doesn't have to be combative contact, but if a defender is directly in front of you, actively trying to stop you, and trying to steal the ball, or block your shot, that is direct defense.yeah, but the pitcher is directly involved in attempting to prevent the batter from achieving his goal (hitting the ball), and vise versa.
if physical contact is required for it to be a sport, then basketball isn't a sport, either.
…except matches are decided by a subjective group of judges who decide what is and isn’t a landed punch. Boxing is far from perfect at best, and crookedly corrupt at worst.Chess requires no physical ability, its a game.
