David Janes has a take that is different than mine on what constitutes a sport.
His rules for what is a sport are:
It has a “natural” measurable scoring — i.e. someone goes the highest, goes the fastest, or finishes before others;
It requires skill;
One can be hurt in the normal course of the sport if that skill is not exercised properly.
My rule was simpler:
A sport is an athletic event that requires you to play offense and defense. Anything else is an athletic event.
At any rate, we both agree. Ice Skating is not a sport.
