to me a sport isn't an activity that boils down to sitting on the bench with a towel around your neck for 99% of the final two minutes of a game when it's a close nail biter

if a real sport is tied or very close near the end of the game the atheletes are sweating vomit for the final minutes of the game, not anointint their brows with Gatorade emblem emblazoned towels while their coaches get into a tactical chess game of 50 plays lasting .1 seconds each

just ook at the difference between a Stanley Cup playoff game in the final two minutes in a game separated by one goal, or close, and an NBA playoff game with a close score in the final two minutes and you should see that to which I refer

if basketball and baseball are considered sports then why isn't croquet?
ok this isn't a fair assessment - I just find the USA's preoccupation with basketball rather absurd, same with baseball
 
Controversial, i second your opinion on baseball not basketball though

Who would of thought, from unknown soldier, such fantastic and witty use of the english language. Your Mom will be proud.
