April 29, 200420 yr comment_201977 Eating contests are definetly sports. That guy who ate 50 hotdogs in an hour is my hero. Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/11780-sport-not-a-sport/?&do=findComment&comment=201977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 29, 200420 yr comment_201978 I was thinking of this today at work mainly because I thought my reply in the other thread was very rude. A sport is sport when its purpose is to be compete against another. Thus eating, hunting or spelling are not sports but board games and cheerleading (school pride is at risk) are.

April 29, 200420 yr comment_201979 I competed in my share of eating contests and won a lot of them(mainly pie eating contests, mmm Pie). Not a sport though, I just did it because it was something cool to do.

April 29, 200420 yr comment_201981 Are you kidding me? This is nowhere near a sport. You sit your ass down and stuff your face. I do that everyday but am I an athlete? Nope.

April 30, 200420 yr Author comment_201984 not a sport, cmon eating a lot may require some athleticism, but so does hunting/fishing, and we said yesterday that neither is a sport Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/11780-sport-not-a-sport/?&do=findComment&comment=201984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
