Hella shit are being called sports now. Like cheerleading. Cheerleading is not a friggin sport! Waving pom-poms around doing high kicks isn't a sport! That one thing where ppl slide blocks of stone across ice isn't a sport!! Hot-dog eating isn't a sport!! wtf?!?!? Some people would even consider poker or pool sports. I just don't understand people nowadays...v.v;

>>1 Basically because when people dedicate their lives to something stupid like poker, or chess, or cheerleading for a living they want to validate their reasons to others who will go "wtf... get a job!" So these things are no longer friendly games (or activities) but "sports."
Only if you do it competitively. I suppose you could play with it in front of a cop and then try to avoid getting caught - that would definitely be classed as a sport.
