WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SPORTS

It's classified as a sport (a competition between two people or two groups of people). Chess is a sport.\nSumo wrestling is a sport except sumo wrestlers are at least twice the size of a darts player. Besides which there are thin and medium sized darts players. Fishing is classed as a sport but I cannot see the point of sitting on a river bank for hours on end with the company of a plastic tub full of maggots.\nI recommend that you invest in a dictionary, flip through the pages to the letter S (it comes after R) and then look for sp then spo, then spor and finally sport - you may read exactly what it does mean.\nI do see your point though - darts is not a very good sport and most of the professional players are overweight.\nPlease excuse the sarcasm but the last week has been one of those 'why the hell did I bother' weeks.

You know it's not the sports that are admitted that I have a problem with. It's the players/athletes they allow to compete. The Olympics, I thought were not supposed to be for professional/paid athletes. Bring the sports into the games by all means but I feel the pro Basketballers, Tennis players, Cricketers etc should be replaced by "amateur" athletes. Cricket , the game, would have to be modified though, maybe limited overs, or it would still be being decided after the Olympics were over.....lol

I have Played Team HandBall for 15 years as a Pro. However, you might be confusing it with the handball in the US that is Squash like sport.

G'day Bud, as I live in Australia, we play almost everything, Lacrosse and American football included. Racquetball, Croquet, Aussie Rules, European football (soccer in the US & Australia). Paddleball is the one I don't know. We play too many variations of lawn bowls (Italians have their method, the Croats theirs, and the Standardised version). \n\nThe reason we play everything is the multicultural nature of our society. There are people from everywhere, and as we live in coastal areas on the main, we are exposed to many a sport. Why, pray tell, did you ask about a single sport rather than all, I could have gone to name quite a few.\n\nCheers, L

I think you nailed it. It fits the definition of a sport, \n\n"an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition" .

The purpose is to have fun!! Volleyball is very competitive and lots of fun. In a real game you have 6 people on a team...3 in front 3 in back. There's the power, middle, and weak hitter in the front. They try blocking and they spike the ball. The 3 people in the back try to server recieve and dig all the balls that come near them. When the opposing team is done serving your right front hitter (weak) goes and serves. You win once you get to 21, and it is rally scoring. Hope this somewhat helped you! :)

First of all, curling is not a real sport.  It's a leisure activity.  It's not much harder than playing a pocket ball.  The reason it's in Winter Olympics is because there aren't too many events in Winter Olympics.\n\nOn the other hand baseball is definitely a sport.  It requires physical speed, strength, endurance, skills, team spirit and more!  This sport is getting more popular and it should be part of Summer Olympics.  I mean basketball and soccer is in Summer Olympics.  Why shouldn't baseball be?  It's only a matter of time before baseball will be part of Summer Olympics

The Olympics! (ie. not the winter olympics)\nThe winter olympics simply involes people sliding, almost every single winter olympics event is just another way to slide!\nEdit: I have to disagree with harley01xlc - The olympics (in my experience) are one of the least comcialised, very large scale sporting events in existence.

I AGREE WITH YOU BERT\ngolf is not a sport it doesn't require any athletic ability. same with ping pong (although I still think ping pong is cool) it just doesn't require athletic ability.\nBASEBALL AND SOFTBALL DESERVE TO BE IN THE OLYMPICS MORE THAN GOLF OR PING PONG!!!!!!!!!

Sorry everyone's hating on you, man :)   Lol, I didn't know it was a sport either, to be honest.  What's next for sports, ballroom dancing?   Oops, my bad.  That's already been passed as one.\n\nCheers!\n\n\nPsssssst  Don't listen to them, its a conspiracy and not really a sport after all.  Neither is Bingo, just for the record. :)  Peace

Like basketball, the game is played on a hard court with scoring rings at both ends, and with a ball resembling a basketball (but lighter, smaller and slightly softer in construction). The rings, whilst of similar height and dimension to basketball hoops, do not have a "backboard". The field is divided into thirds which regulate where individuals in each team are allowed to move, and two semi-circular "shooting circles" at each end from within which all scoring shots must be taken.\n\nThere are seven players on each team, who are given nominated, named positions (and in competitive netball must wear "bibs" or "patches" showing the abbreviations below indicating that position). \n\nBy the combination of the above, only the Goal Attack and Goal Shooter are able to score goals directly.\n\nNetball rules do not permit players to take more than one step in possession of the ball. Consequently, the only way to move the ball towards the goal is to throw the ball to a teammate. The ball cannot be held by one person for more than 3 seconds at any one time. This, combined with the restrictions on where players can move, ensures that everyone on the team is regularly involved in play. Defence is restricted -- not only is contact not permitted, but players must be at least three feet (90 centimetres) away to defend, meaning that hard physical contact is rare. If contact is made, the ball must be passed to the team against which the penalty was committed.\n\nA game is played in 4 quarters of 15 minutes each, with an interval of 3 minutes between the first and second and third and fourth quarters and an interval of 5 minutes at half time. There is up to 2 minutes of time allowed for each injury.

All of these people are incorrect with their answers and they don’t even know it. \n\nThe word 'sport' has changed from its original definition to mean something rather different. It was originally used to describe a team event where participants had to overcome a common goal. 'Sports' in the tradition sense of the word were invented by the British to help train their youth in schools to become officers and leaders headed for the colonies. Original sports were rugby, cricket, football (soccer) etc.\n\nAnyway the definition and understanding of the word ‘sport’ has since changed to encompass activities such as games, athletics, gymnastics, individual events etc.\n\nAnd the goal of modern sports is slightly different. The emphasis now is on winning and less on teamwork as was the original purpose.\n\nSo to ask which is the oldest sport, you need to ask what definition of the word sport you are using. The original or the modern meaning?\n\nAs for the oldest event you would have to say running. But who knows if it was an organized competition.
