No games, just sports
So, debates have been raging. What is a "sport" to you? I think the staples (basketball, football, baseball, etc.) can easily be classified as sports. But what makes them so? Are they games of physical skill? Is it their team natures? Do they necessarily have to be competitive?
What qualifies as sports, and what differentiates them from mere games?
And furthermore, can "mere" games be further broken down to include delineations between those which require greater mental prowess (chess) and those which are either entirely luck based (Candyland)? Is there some fundamental terminology difference between checkers and chess?
Also, who do you respect more? The star football quarterback or the chess grandmaster? Who is a more shining example of humanity's inexorable rise towards greatness?
Debate plz.
