To me a sport has to meet several requirements.
1 It has to be something that has a clear winner and a clear loser. It cannot end in a tie.
2 The outcome cannot be determined by a judge.
3 It has to have teams, and the teams have to affect the other team.
4 It can't be something that anyone can play at a prfessional level.
5 You have to be able to use your hands.
6 It has to have set rules.
7 It can't have the word "extreme" in the title of the sport.
Going by these rules, I believe only Football, Baseball, and Basketball are the only true sports. Things like NASCAR and other "motorsports" should be called races. Same with Running. Its not a sport, its a race. Activities like bowling should never be called a sport. I'm not insulting these things, I just don't think they should be labeled as sports.
Thoughts?
