definition of sports

this debate (what is the definition of a sport?) has lasted probably a trillion years. the velociraptor would argue with the tyrannosaurus rex about whether eating a stegosaurus was a sport. it went something like this.

T-Rex: "ROAAAARRRRRRRR"

Raptor: "ROAR. EEEEEEEE"

T: "ROARRRRRRRRRRR"

R: "EEEEEEEEE ROAR!"

T: "ROAAAAARRRRRRRRR"

R: "Good point."

They would argue and argue until they realized what they really wanted was to eat each other.

But I digress. a sport is anything you have fun doing. its very plain and simple.

here are some "real" "responses" that "i" "have" given"."
"oh you like to play basketball? well then sir you are playing a sport."
"what? you enjoy running marathons? you my friend are sporting it up"
"you think giving yourself a time limit to finish pooping is fun? sport!"
makes sense to me. but, some might ask,
"so you're saying if you don't like tennis, that makes it universally not a sport?"
then i'd say
"i think the example you just cited...that's paramount. that's a heck of a lot more than most bloggers... and let me just say i'm also known as the maverick, taking shots from my readers...i'm just trying to get people understand my definition of sports"
then some might say
"i'm gonna ask you one last time, not to belabor the point. if you don't like tennis, does that make it universally not a sport?"
then i'd say,
"i'll try to find and answer and bring em to ya!"

trying to find a view of Russia from one's property is definitely a sport - and a prerequisite for the ultimate competition: statesmanship.

sport should also be available for the proletariat. for example: if tennis requires one to afford lacoste clothing, then it is clearly not a sport, but rather leisurely luxury.

soccer on the other hand can be played with a random can on a sidewalk - brilliant sport.
