I know it sounds ridiculous, hear me out on this though. Professional golfers are normally overweight, old, or out of shape, and their caddies carry the equipment for them. There is no running, jumping, or cardiovascular activity in golf. If an activity does not make you break a sweat, or if it can be done while drinking and smoking, then it is not a sport, right?

Of all the golfers I have ever met, only one was overweight. However, all of them have been self indulgent twats schmoozing with one another and using the act of golfing to further themselves and their business Ventures.

Golf is a game, just like Dota.
Period.

Your move, Frank.

Golf is a game. DotA is a game played professionally in e-Sports. It's not considered a sport, but a competition.

 

Rooting for a golfer or video game player is no different than visiting the local recreational room and cheering for let's say... a bingo player.

 

YEAH GLADYS, GET THAT B12 BITCH. YOU GOT THIS SHIT."

 

I love me some e-Sports, because it invokes the nerd within me and I like seeing my favorite heroes dominate.

 

I'd rather watch bingo than golf, for these reasons

 

1) it's hot outside and being the one that has to walk and follow players is dumb.

2) golf is boring anyways.

3) golf claps are for sarcastic responses, not actual applauding. We stole your clap fair and square. Assholes.

4) the clothes they wear are fuckin' stupid.

 

I guess chess player would have been a better example.

So my only interaction with golfers was when i was in thailand and these guys asked me how much they had to pay me to touch my boobs. And they also told me about this very fancy golf tournament they were apparently playing in

If they put more alligators on the courses, golf might be a pretty interesting sport.

Sport: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment

 

Though the physical exertion may be few and far between, there isn't really any wiggle room when golf falls snugly in to the definition of a sport.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

I always thought sports were defined as a cardiovascular activity to compete for people's enjoyment. Urban Dictionary says this:

"Something that fat women use to get with guys out of their league.
Tom: Dude, why is that fat chick at the bar pretending to watch game 6 of the Pistons Lakers series.

Bill: Oh, she is fat, and needs an angle to attract men.


Tom: Gotcha"




I think the latter is the best definition.

Thread was wrapped up long ago.

Golf is a game for rich people.

And people who love to swing their thin poles at tiny balls.
