calling it a sport is a stretch.
I mean, there's plenty of low-effort, high-accuracy sports. Pool, darts, bowling, curling, bocce, pétanque, archery, shooting... A lot of them have an old-man, alcohol-fueled vibe, not unrelatedly
Archery is NOT low-effort unless you're playing around with low draw-strength bows.
Fair, that's true of golf as well if you're driving properly. I was thinking more along the lines of 'won't put you out of breath'.
Fair enough
Darts is a sport. Sporting is the act of doing an activity against an opponent. Gaming is basically a sport.
No, sporting is defined: Sport is a physical activity or game,[1] often competitive and organized, that maintains or improves physical ability and skills.
So yes gaming is a sport, but no it is not simply an activity against an opponent.
Fair enough, I just made up my answer!
Wrong about the definition, right that golf can be called a sport.
