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.
The most common understanding of the word sport is athletics, which @AtPatriotGames has pointed out ad nauseam. But, that is not the whole of the matter, nor the best place to stand if we wish for an informed and enlightening discussion (increasingly unlikely here as trolling and spamming has taken over).
I’m reminded of two US Supreme Court cases almost exactly a century ago. Both concerned eligibility to citizenship on the basis of a limit Congress placed in 1790 (now no longer law). Citizenship was open to “free white persons”. In the first case, SCOTUS relied on scientific definitions of Caucasian as the meaning of “white” to deny citizenship to a man of Japanese ancestry. In the second case, the man was clearly Caucasian, but his dark skin led the Court to adopt the eyeball test, or “man on the street”. He clearly does not look white to the average person.
It is the latter test that you advocate here.
Wait I'll ask..........................................Nope. Still 50/50.
