No, everyone agreed with me. They were just humoring you.

Nope. I said that:

1. Sweat from physical exertion is an indicator if it is a sport or not,

2. the possibility of seriously injuring oneself is another indicator if it's a sport or not, and

3. Any game where you can stand around, drinking beer while playing, isn't a sport.

Game on.
