  I mean, you technically move your body when you’re hitting the ball.

    I do that when I go to the kitchen to eat something. I move my body and walk to the kitchen

      1. You have a goal (find something to eat)
      2. You are moving your body
      3. If you have to cook anything, that’s using a skill

      By definition, that’s a sport. :D

        Hey, it takes skill to scoop ice cream. That’s why you have to do it for kids. Getting ice cream from your freezer is a sport.

      Is your kitchen outdoors and carpeted in lush green grass? Do you have a lawn mower come through your kitchen every two days? Do you have sprinklers that douse your kitchen lawn at 5 o’clock every morning?

        It might be. You don’t know that.

  I mean… E-sports exists so I guess the word “sport” doesnt actually mean physical exercise, just competitive elements, apparently

    Esports is considered an activity rather than a sport according to my states school system. What is the difference between a sport and an activity? I couldn’t find their definitions lol.

      I would say activity is a huge encapsulating word that all sports, games, clubs, etc fall under.

      Sport to me is an intensive competitive activity.

      I would like to also say team based, but wrestling, track, and swimming would be absent from such a definition. Similarly, if you were to say outdoors most winter sports would be excluded.

      With my definition you could argue for games like Chess to be intensive and competitive. I’m unsure. I think it changes depending on the level of play. At the end of the day, the only people who really care about exact definitions are those in administration deciding what activity gets what.

        I think your definition is great, wrestling is sort of team based and you still have an active opponent

      I like to think of golf, bowling, and esports as competitive pastimes.

    Honestly, I never thought of it as a sport. That was actually a genuine question 😂
