No matter how physically taxing it is, you are not actually powering the machine yourself so it's not a sport.

It's only a sport if it involves balls and teams.

Gotta love some out of shape goon being the gatekeeper as to what is and what isn't a sport. Who loving cares if its classified as a sport. My personal definition separates out racing from sports, but who loving cares. Its not like being labeled a sport inherently gives an activity more or less value. Like racing of any kind requires a shot load of training, endurance, ability, etc. But I don't call it a sport, but I also don't put any value on that particular label. This is like the stupidest argument that has plagued me since high school and for some reason people feel very strongly and pretend that it matters if something is a sport or not.

It is important to understand that baseball is a pastime and not a sport though.

*in extremely Joe Buck voice* Swickles is a journeyman in the sport of arguing, but with that nasty reliance on the ad hominem he never could quite make the jump to pro. Truly a promising career for this athlete cut short by an inability to play the sport the right way.

Physically powering was probably not the way I should have put it.

I think the more things you augment your body with and the harder it is to just casually pick up and compete against an opponent the less of a sport it is.

Surfing and snowboarding would be sports in my mind because those items are simple items under your physical control while a car is a gently caress load of moving parts that do not require you to interact with.

Ask yourself this - have you ever seen an obese, out-of-shape race car driver?

Additionally, winning races consistently where cars are built to the same spec* requires an insane amount of skill and is absolutely physically taxing.

And yeah, this whole argument is dumb as heck.

_{* - this is my assumption}

Wrong again sir. It's a tossup between Monopoly and Risk. I have a half brother that hasn't talked to the family in over a year because of a game of Monopoly.

Pop quiz, hotshot. You've got a 30 stack parked in Indochina. Once your life-long friend drives his 50 stack into your Australian continent bonus instead of using his armies to attack your brother in the Ukraine, your relationship is ruined. What do you do? What do you do?

I love that Monopoly was invented by a communist to depict the dehumanizing and alienating effects of rampant capitalism and then Parker Brothers were like "let's add some cartoons to this"

Spelling has a finite amount of outcomes and discrete success and failure states, and the primary mechanism of variation is the random ordering of the word list. Spelling is a game.
