 Sports vs. Activities
All right I just had this argument with someone so I figured it be an interesting topic. I stated I didn't believe Cheerleading was sport. Mainly because the main criteria for winning is someone's opinion. The same thing goes for Figure Skating, Diving, anything showmanshippy basically. My criteria for a "Sport" is to have a set scoring system that doesn't change really. To me basically because it's judged on Showmanship and that can vary between "judges" So there is no definitive scoring system. That's not to take anything away from the athletic ability required to do the activities I just don't think that they are "Sports" |
