It is a sport, by any definition. People can say they don't think blue is a color either, but that doesn't mean they have any real facts to back up their assertions.

I think they are a reflection of the American economic system. Trying to gain an edge over your opponent by any means possible. Through use of superior technique,teamwork, leadership and making the best of ones natural gifts the opponent is outmaneuvered and defeated. \n\nIt's a healthy outlet for ones energy in a society where there are so many unhealthy choices.\n\nOver the years popularity grew and expanded until these days sports are a big, money earning form of entertainment.

It's very possible that ALL pro sports are "fixed", but highly unlikely.  There is just too much media scrutiny and someone always talks, just look at the steroids thing in baseball.

It plays small role.  I wouldn't even go that far.\n\nSports turn attention from the serious matters.\n\nLike the first 10 mins of the news everynight during the olympics was just that, olympics.  \n\nLike nothing more important was going on.\n\nSorry man, I think if all the sports people took that energy to fixing shit, then they could play sports the rest of their lives when they are done.\n\nIf people took the time to know their politician's stats instead of some sports icon's, the world would be a better place, thats all.\nFucking idiots.

Good question since most sports are played live.  I guess this refers to the broadcast.  If it's a delayed broadcast then the sport isn't watched by viewers as it happens as opposed to a live broadcast wherein no one knows the outcome of the game as of yet.

"A sport consists of a physical and mentally competitive activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or some combination of these. A sport has physical activity, side by side competition, self-motivation and a scoring system. The difference of purpose is what characterises sport, combined with the notion of individual (or team) skill or prowess."\n\nSo yes I say karate, tkd and almost every competetive martial arts is a sport!

It is a physical activity played to a set of rules - that is the gist of the definition I found answering a previous question.\n\nThis means that pretty much anything from athletics to beer-chugging can be considered a sport.\n\nIf you want to get historical then it should conform to the Olympian ideas of running, throwing and fighting ... or "American football" :-)

...corruption and politics has found its' way into sports\n\n...drugs [introducing foreign substances into the body and blood doping ]\n\n...racism and other forms of discrimination [although 'they' claim it does not exist in sports...YEAH RIGHT]\n\n...athletes selling out and going to other careers for the love of fame and money [example: anna kournikova]

Pas seulement un symbole de la France nouvelle,mais aussi un signal fort qui nous montre que le sport apparement de moindre importence dans la hierarchie des valeurs pour certains,peut être un moyen attravers lequel les grandes âmes expriment leur conviction sur l'égalité des races et la richesse que regorge la divercité de celles-ci.\n\nLe sport peut devenir de cela une source d'inspiration pour révolutionner d'autres secteurs de la vie nationale francaise tels que la politique,etc...\nEt un modèle pour d'autres pays qui sombrent encore dans des conceptions classiques de l'esclavagisme,du colonialisme et du racisme et eprouvent encore des diffucultés de voir le monde avec des lunettes humanitaires.\n\nLa valeur de l'équipe de France depasse les considerations sportives.Elle donne un bon exemple pour un monde nouveau et plus humain.

i can remember seeing flyovers in 95. why not, sports bring out emotions that you don't feel everyday, they are played by the best in the the world. and they would be nothing without the sacrifice of the countless men who gave their lives to give us the opportunity to be entertained at the highest level, + its its killer marketing
