> So far, all the people who have been arguing against my statements seem to think they are fast and absolute; that my statements are universally accepted as what does define "sport" and are the only things that define what "sport" is.

I was hoping I would seem to think that this was a good subject to joke around on after all the ultra-serious stuff recently.

> Not a single one of you has stated what you feel is a difference between a "sport" and a "game".

I agree with you completely, as it happens. From having spoken to Beasty in chat, he seems to as well.

> "We all know that that shove ha'penny, snooker, green bowling and, yes, even darts are real sports." I've got no idea what "shove ha'penny" and "green bowling" are, but if you're going to lump them in with other games like snooker and darts, they're most likely just games.

Shove ha'penny involves rolling coins on a table, and trying to get them to stop between the lines of a grid. Green bowling is played by old people. It involves rolling odd-shaped balls across a field towards a marker ball. They were the best examples I could think of for non-sport games.

> Carrying a grand piano over an obstacle course a sport? No, that's just stupid. Where's the governing body? What are the set rules?

Yaay, stupidity!
