NASCAR....

**gcdevil22** · March 29th, 2006, 05:56 PM

all im looking for is the physical (not cerebral or sensory) skills it takes in NASCAR that would qualify them as athletes

it could not be expressed so they went to arguments like "well you couldnt do it"...uhh no sh*t...i cant do a lot of things, but the fact i cant do them doesnt make them sports

so by what you are saying is that drag racing would be a sport, lawn mower racing, tractor pulls, monster trucks, and go karting

sorry left out RC racing [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

and if you have muscles and can run a mile then what does that matter on how well you drive it is the most pathetic excue for a sport...i would rather watch curling personally

what makes fishing a sport...dont get me wrong i love to fish but just never really got what classified it as a sport

**TheBeast** · March 29th, 2006, 06:20 PM

I never said anything about fishing being a sport. I don't see it being any less of a sport than golf, actually I am more active fishing than I am golfing.

sometimes it takes strength and endurance to take a s h i t....does that make that a sport?

The endurance it takes.
The strength it takes
two physical skills

what about volleyball or swimming? are they sports. you don't do much running, sure volleyball you move a lot but you don't run up and down a court or field and you don't run at all in swimming.
Endurance yes but a lot of vision (cerebral or sensory). Hey is Tennis a true sport?

golf is a game to me...not a sport

baseball requires running, throwing, jumping at times if you're an outfielder

**imported_biggamesjames** · March 29th, 2006, 06:29 PM

well then i will tell you...according to webster:

sport

n) 1.an amusing or interesting pastime, sometimes involving competition: a diversion.

athlete

n) one who participates in competitive sports.

by those definitions both chess and fishing would also fit within the parameters of being considered a sport. nascar racing is WELL within those definitive parameters. the argument is silly to begin with.
