cake decorating is more of a sport than NASCAR

I don't know then, I would think it is a sport

Earnest Hemingway once said that mountain climbing, bull fighting and auto racing are the only sports. Everything else is just a game.
I agree.

The common denominator between all three is that when you are engaged in any of them, you are always in a constant struggle to avoid death. It heightens the senses and makes you feel more alive, knowing you could die at any moment. Of course, when he wrote that, auto racing safety equipment was practically nonexistent, and more than one F1 driver would die per year, whereas today, deaths are rare, even at the highest level. Race car drivers used to drop like flies.

Curling, bowling and golf are considered sports and both take less effort than straining for a poop.

Hell, T-ball, Base Ball, American Football, Bowling and tether ball are considered sports and they're not in the Olympics.

baseball was, except for this olympics (the same countries won all the time), the commitee took it out along with softball

football, I don't know how you could make it an olympic event. there would have to be a huge tournament started way before the ceremonies started just to get down to the medal games

on top of that, its not physically possible to play more than 1 real game a week & the USA would smoke every team every olympics

Yet curling is a sport.
