As I was browsing around for articles on tonights Bengals/Ravens game I ran across this article and this quote.

"I mean, this isn't a soft sport. We don't play chess. This isn't swimming. This isn't one of those kind of sports. It's football. It takes a man to play this game, and to play this game you have to have passion.''
I had to laugh.

It's these kind of team sports that get you into trouble :joker: /snicker
I think swimming is still a sport. The mental aspect is still there but it is focused internally...maybe we can say team sports versus non team sport...and then again what about the relay????
There is not really any team work in a relay, when your teamate touches the wall you just react to it. its not like gang takling or setting a pick in basketball.
for the sport vs. athletic event, think of it this way
Is the dunk competition a sport. It is atletic and it is a competition. but its not a sport. it is an atletic event.
