So the atheism thread and definitions of atheism/anti-theism got me thinking of this debate I've been having at work. My coworker keeps arguing that auto racing is not a sport because the driver isn't doing the work. I counter with my own definition of sport:
1. Must be competitive in nature, with a clear winner.
2. Must contain some physical element, such as endurance, speed, coordination.
3. Judging cannot be the primary determinant of the winner.
So in my definition, things like gymnastics and diving are not sports due to rule #3. Needless to say this get me many looks of consternation.
With these rules, auto racing qualifies as a sport. What say you all?
