Hi okay so I do like football, but I definitely like alternative and extreme sports more. I've got nothing against football, except that I think that the sport has been ruined by money and status.

Also, I try having conversations about alternative sports with friends (like mountain biking, which I love with a passion) and rally etc, but they just seem narrow-minded and seem to think watching some often overpaid and overrated men sometimes kicking a ball around is all there is to sport. Help me prove them wrong.

So, all thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated. =]
 
yeah I love tennis and was the captain of my high school team but I also really enjoy snowboarding and paintball. People argue with me all the time saying paintball isn't a real sport. But what really defines true sport?

"an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature..." -Dictionary.com

No where in there does it say that there has to be a single ball being kicked or thrown around. a sport is a competition and in my eyes paintball requires a ton of athleticism and a ton of teamwork.

So let them keep talking if you cant convince them, and just know that you know it is a real sport
