I must agree.

Sport England is the shizzle when it comes to sport categorization.

So lets say two people like sailing, one just likes to catch the wind and enjoy the ride, the other like to go as fast as he can

Is one sport and the other not?

Is snowboarding not a sport if you are not trying to beat your downhill time?

I have done some pretty spectacular dives and am not one of these people that are "fair weather" or "clear, warm water only" divers, I like to push the limits within safety margins.

Does that mean that it is a sport because I push myself ?

I made a distinction between competitive and activity making a differential..

Diving is called sports diving if it is not commercial diving. Diving is also listed as a dangerous sport for insurance purposes and one can find an increase in life insurance premiums if one regularly participates.

I know what the definition is.

I just don't call anything sport because it's recreation.

I don't really use the words recreation and sport interchangeably.

I wouldn't say I sail for sport when catching wind. :sick:

I partially agree with bizzie man on this one.

To be a sport there must be an element of competition.

However competition against one's own previous best does not count as far as I am concerned.

They are sports. But as you once wrote (i think it was you) there is a difference between a sportsman and an athlete.

See the problem is, people don't actually know what that means.

Does it mean that it (the poll) would not matter, or that it was a good poll or some other meaning of the word shit (presumably nothing to do excrement).
