I watch mma, it's on pretty much every week, easy to follow, though some people get bored with the grappling aspect and I understand that, it's definitely not exciting watching a clinch battle against the cage.

The only "sports" I like participating in are

Running
Hiking
Cycling
Billiards/pool
Swimming
Fishing
American Football
Baseball
Basketball
Association Football (Soccer)

I'd like to get into shooting, archery, golf, and sailing, but that typically requires money.

Not by your definition.

https://web.archive.org/web/20111028112912/http://www.sportaccord.com/en/members/index.php?idIndex=32&idContent=14881

The SportAccord Council has developed a definition of sport. The aim of this definition is to determine whether an applicant federation would qualify as a sport federation.
It is not the aim to have a general, scientifically sound definition, but rather to make a clear and pragmatic description of activities which could be considered as a sport.

Elements of a definition

Many dictionaries and encyclopaedias use similar sources and denominations and refer to sport as a physical or athletic activity, with often an element of competition.
In addition, the more democratic source of definitions Wikipedia specifically mentions mind sports and motorised sports in which the physical activity is not dominant. Wikipedia also makes the link to art, which is an interesting link for sports that rely on judges.
The current SportAccord membership shows the full breadth of the above.

The sports within SportAccord can be classified in the following categories:
Primarily physical
Primarily mind
Primarily motorised
Primarily coordination
Primarily animal-supported

Some sports have been classified in multiple categories; this is mostly due to different disciplines.

The SportAccord definition of sport

With regard to new applications, SportAccord uses the following definition of a sport:
The sport proposed should have an element of competition.
The sport proposed should in no way be harmful to any living creatures.
The sport should not rely on equipment that is provided by a single supplier.
The sport should not rely on any luck element specifically designed into the sport.

Every single one of the sports I mentioned meet these requirements. They are also competitive, increase your heart rate and pulse, make you sweat, and all sorts of condition qualifiers that are normally given to "sports".

What makes hiking competitive? Id personally agree to each of those being a sport except for hiking, but Im open to your explanation.

There's a lot of debate on whether or not it is, but even though you're usually not competing against others, it's a form of exercise, gets your blood pumping, etc.

Yeah, Id call it an activity more than a sport. To me, a sport must involve some sort of a competition to it. Hiking is definitely an exercise, but so is doing jumping jacks, and I wouldnt consider that a sport.

To each their own, though. The term sport is sort of a loose definition, and it can vary from person to person. Some dont consider billiards or bowling to be a sport (I do), while others consider NASCAR a sport (I dont).

The SportAccord, or as its now known, the Global Association of International Sports Federations is literally the is the umbrella organisation for all (Olympic and non-Olympic) international sports federations as well as organisers of multi-sports games and sport-related international associations. So, believe what you want. You're wrong.

Yeah, but you could technically competitively-hike with friends up a mountain, trail, etc.

You could technically competitively do jumping jacks with friends to see who could do the most. I still wouldnt consider it a sport.

2) It's only paranoia when you're wrong.

3) If it's coordinated, it's notable. However, it's not coordinated, it's still notable. So either way you lose.
