Damn, I didn't know mindreading was one of your skills or that you'd taken over this site and now have the right to tell people how and what to post. I can't help it if your argument is weak but I've got some news for ya, auto racing
is a sport. So is motocross and the other activities you mentioned.
Dude, did you get beat up a lot in grade school that you're such a wise guy now. What's the matter with posting with out attacking people.
Apparently you can add "Define Sport" to the subjects that can not be civilly discussed here (along with religion, politics and whether prawns are better eaten with cocktail sauce or drawn butter).
I know for real. to some sports is a religion so I guess we should have known.
The kicker? This was a civil discussion for a long time. Unfortunately, not everyone can respect that though.

you could probably make a case for spelling bee's as a sport than. The mental concentration is obvious and towards the later rounds those kids have to stand for an extreme amount of time
and spelling bee's dont hurt the environment

What in the hell does that have to do with anything? Aren't you able to accept the fact that racing is indeed a sport? Don't you think if it wasn't it would have been disputed in some kind of an official capacity by now? It's a sport so it's probably best to just accept that.

I think professional biking is a sport, since you are doing the pedaling, whereas you're only pushing the gas pedal.
I still don't think that auto racing is a sport, it's a competition, on the basis that the car does more work than the driver.
But hey, that's just my OPINION
