The beer gut test: Do you use it when determining if a sport is actually a sport




Basically it says if you've got a beer gut and you're able to be at the top of your sport professionally, that the activity shouldn't actually be classified as a sport as it isn't athletic enough.

sport
noun
1.
an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature

Not sure if beer gut should be the qualifier, but something should, because throwing rocks with handles down an ice rink while another person sweeps the floor definitely doesn't qualify.

Forgettable posted...
so you define sport as something that's physically demanding?


No, the dictionary does. And the dictionary, being a dictionary, is kind of an authority on what words mean.
