Self promotion isn't allowed in forums especially YTs. If you get muted temporarily, I'm not surprised.

It requires physical skill. It is competitive.

The conversation about it cannot possibly be dumber than the one about chess.

Or can it?

Any endeavor enough human beings decide is a sport, is a sport. Any endeavor that marketing dweebs decide is a professional sport and back it up with $$$, is a professional sport. Any other definition is transient, and incorrect.

Sorry for skipping to the inevitable and only end of the argument.

That’s the crux of matter. Sport is a word. It is defined by people in accordance with their needs to communicate.

Chess is big business. Look at the money @Erik and company are making with this website.

Chess is a competitive activity with all the scandals and heartache of other competitive activities.

Chess gives you “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat”. It should be on ABC’s Wide World of Sports.

It's not about whether anyone likes you or not, so don't play the victim, it's about the choice that you made: "hmmm, this thread has a lot of people, let me use it to get more attention for me". If you went to someone's birthday party and then stood up and said "hey, leave this party and come check out my party next door", you would get the same treatment.

I don't think there is any group here, this is a thread dedicated to a certain topic.

i don't have time to argue with you so just mind your business

Avatar of Festerthetester

Obviously you do have time.

Chess.Com has terms of service you agreed to when you made your account. They include not intentionally disrupting conversations which you did. It's called trolling. Try to control you hurt feelings and either make comments related to the topic or simple go away.

Hmmm I see your point

Avatar of Festerthetester

Diogenes #150 and Ziryab #160 summed it up. But no doubt the partriot will show up and make a page long dissertation about why she is the sole arbiter of what qualifies as a sport.

Avatar of Festerthetester

By the way this is only one of a long list of threads about this. Obviously there is no limit to the number of people wishing to spend their time arguing about nonsense.

Myself included.

This is a forum in a chess site about whether chess is a sport, so obviously there'll be a huge bias. Go ask people in the real world and almost nobody will agree it's a sport.

Avatar of Festerthetester

And here we go.

Avatar of Festerthetester

Obviously there is no "huge bias" since ( if you read ) half the people commenting here say it isn't and half say it is.

Avatar of glamdring27

And do you think it will be 50:50 amongst non chess players too? If not then it's a bias.
