What did Hemingway say about sports?
Mountain climbing, bull fighting and car racing are sports, the rest are games?
As I watch sports I see a clear definition about them.
Golf is a puzzle, so is bowling, curling and darts?
Those are all challenges. You get to a point, then it's out of your hands.
There is a skill involved....but you have 'time' to figure out a strategy.
I agree with the judging bit....
But, then you have the 1972 U.S. basketball team.
I still remember poor Hank Iba's face after that game with the Russkies....
I still want to bomb Russia over THAT game.
There was a Crying area at that venue.
Interesting fact about the Silver Medals 'awarded' the team. I watched a special on that game and the medals were never picked up by the team, they sit someplace -unawarded.
One guy even put in in his will that none of his family would never be allowed to accept it on his behalf.
