What sports would you consider not a sport?

[Shortie]

We have so many different sports that you can not only watch but also take part in but there are some sports that some people will say are not a sport and they do not understand why it is classed as a sport.

Some of these sports are ones such as snooker, pool, and even golf to the extent that I have heard people say they don't feel it is a sport.

What are your thoughts on sports such as snooker, pool, and golf being classed as a sport? Would you say they are?

What other sports would you say you do not consider to be a sport?

There's no way I would ever consider this as a sports. In fact, it's a disgrace that companies like UFC are sponsoring such nonsense and call it sports.

Skateboarding is declared as not a sport by many professional skaters and the like. But the definition of sport is as followed:

1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.
2. a particular form of this, especially in the out of doors.
3. sports, (used with a singular verb)
   such athletic activities collectively: Sports is important in my life.
4. diversion; recreation; pleasant pastime.
   So, if it falls under the category, which skateboarding does, then it is a sport.

I love chess, but I don't consider it a sport. Somehow, I consider 'sports' as something physically demanding. Something that requires physical training, endurance, discipline, persistence, courage, etc.

I don't consider e-sports a sport.

They've got fans. That is the most important part of the game. As long as they have fans supporting them too and that is key.
