Never called horse racing a sport either. I would categorize that under Racing. If anythings the athelete there, it's the horse.

ROFL! His first post attends to the Hot Chicks thread! Rock on! And welcome to Soxtalk! Hopefully that thread wasn't your only motive for signing up.

I predict the Sox watched the Twins win today and will come out trying too hard and lose.

I cannot comprehend why gays NEED to get married.

I don't like tatoos. Maybe one small one, but otherwise ink-skin is pretty gross.

The Twins did it again... sheesh! Those guys are stupid. We need a win now...

Like I said, entertainment that uses a MACHINE as it's main piece is NOT a sport. Baseball, football, hockey, basketball, golf, table tennis, NONE of these use machinery. NASCAR is in the Racing category, period. And the racing category is NOT in the sport category. Some of you need to stop pretending that NASCAR is a sport just because you like it and will defend it to the death, it isn't! Get over it! You know what cracks me up? When no one logically supports their view. *Ahem* That's 2 times in this thread now.

I will never accept something that uses a machine as it's prime component a sport. Never.

I think the self gratification of knowing the Royals are watching one of the best players that ever played for them on the other side would cancel that out.

ZAUN with an RBI blooper! 3-2 Jays, 1st and 3rd 1 out. It'd be nice to go into Minnesota only 1 game behind... Inning ending double play. PLEASE let this lead last, even though I know it won't because these are the Twins! Bases were loaded for Wells, and he drives in 2 with a single in the 7th.

1st and 2nd 1 out for Toronto.

IMO anyone except Reed and Sweeney. I'd LOVE to have Beltran. I don't think he'd want to play for us though... you know, learning to hate the rivals. Well we're public enemy #1 (maybe #2) to him and the Royals.

Wells smacks a double with 1 out. Cool, what kind of shirt is it?

Twins come back to tie it. What else is new?

Wasn't me. I don't mind there being NASCAR threads about winners and stuff. I don't follow NASCAR so I don't post in them. But this ones about something totally different and it's asking us to present arguments for either NASCAR or Dodgeball.

Because that's what this topic is.

I will not. While I'd love to see the movie, I'd rather not be in a theater full of screaming shouting annoying children.

:puke

SO the checklist for a sport is: -Competition -Offense -Defense -Winning -Losing -Physical Exertion -Mental Exertion Let's see what chess has... Competition, check. Offense, check. Defense, check. Winning, check. Losing, check Mental Extertion, check. Physical Exertion, nope. I could basically take your argument and tell you chess is a sport too. And if physical extertion is the difference between sport or not, NASCAR drivers "physical exertion" pales in comparison to a hockey or basketball players.

No, it's not. I never said it was easy. If I was a very good painter, and others were not, I wouldn't call it a sport. It doesn't matter if they are skilled at it or not! Honestly, how can you call NASCAR a sport? All they're doing is driving! That's it. REAL sports involved doing a wealth of things. Take hockey for example. You have to know how to ice skate real well, how to aim pucks into corners of the net (If you're an O-line man), how to do effective checks, and more. NASCAR is just driving fast and trying to be in first. Racing is RACING, not sport. Like NASCAR, horse racing, go-karting Sports are SPORTS, not racing. Like Baseball, football, hockey. Two completely different things.

Injury after injurt after injurt, yet they still win. Amazing.

2-0 now. Go Jays!

"Omg I made the turn! I'm out of breath now!" I never said it didn't involve skill, and skill doesn't make a sport. Is a skilled modeller a sportsman now? There are the guys that change tires and stuff...but ASSCAR is not a sport. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Sport: NASCAR is not a sport.

Let's go Sox! ANd hopefully my game thread goes well!
