What Is A Sport?

         


              My definition of a sport is a competitive athletic event where one is pitted head to head or team vs team. Many sports fall under this category, but there are some grey areas. The grey areas that I would not necessarily consider a sport are:
Bowling
Dancing
Lawn games
Bull riding
Etc.


             I guess what separates these from sports is there is a lack of competitiveness and athleticism. These can be considered sports, but I just do not believe they are sports. These items listed just lack the competitiveness to be considered a sport. There is also a lack of athleticism in lawn games and other minor athletic games.
