Gene Honda Civic Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 How is this even a question... Drive your car up a mountain and see how tired you are... Now ride your bike up that same mountain... Case closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confederate_48 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Nascars a sport but cycling is tougher. Cycling is tougher then baseball so what are you trying to prove ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 i dont kno if this is the reason for the poll, but dibs on the dan patrick show today said that cycling isnt a sport, and that he doesnt give lance or any of the riders credit because they are riding a bike  for the poll...its cycling by a landslide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiff Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 The idea of "more of a sport" is ridiculously stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 NASCAR is not a sport. I drive somewhere everyday, does that make driving a sport? Am I an athlete? The answer to both questions is no. NASCAR is simply a competition. I would classify cycling as recreational, which makes the riders athletes, but it's not a sport. Don't take this to mean I don't think it's not incredible what they do. I'm not taking anything away from cyclists. However, something that you can do outside of competition without changing the activity is not a sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiff Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 This makes no sense to me. Am I the only one? Yeah it doesn't really hold up. Doing something outside of competition means you're not doing the same thing. You can shoot hoops outside of competition, you can golf outside of competition, so what.

southsideirish Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I would classify both as events. JUst like running, shotputting, javeline throwing, discus. All events. NASCAR and cycling are both events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
