Is chess a sport or game?
Sort:
Meep can mean any word in any language.

Maybe it's because by hitting and so forth you can get some of your aggressions out directly, so they don't have a chance to build up.

Sport is generally recognised as activities which are based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with the largest major competitions such as the Olympic Games admitting only sports meeting this definition,[3] and other organisations such as the Council of Europe using definitions precluding activities without a physical element from classification as sports.[2] However, a number of competitive, but non-physical, actvities claim recognition as mind sports. The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognises both chess and bridge as bona fide sports, and SportAccord, the international sports federation association, recognises five non-physical sports,[4][5] although limits the amount of mind games which can be admitted as sports.
Sure, but then we'll need to look into what the defenition of "definition" is.
And then into what the definition of "is" is....
It's a slippery, slippery slope. Better we just continue to argue without clouding the issue with "facts" and "definitions".
There is no hitting in Judo Andy
Well, then you'll just let your aggressions bottle up inside (and that's bad).
And IF pigs could fly, THEN pork would surely be a low fat food.
That syllogistic assertion is just as persuasive as this lame "sport or no sport" thread.

I KNOW, I USED TO WATCH BUGS BUNNY
Correction; there's no hitting in wuss-judo. In awesome-judo there's all kinds of face-mashing and gut-punching, and grabbing-people's-hair-and-dragging-faces-across-fences.
No hitting in Judo, but you can hyper-extend elbows, separate shoulders, and choke people until they pass out. Just lovely.

although it might sound hilarious you have a point building up aggression is not good. Also you can expect a confrontation behaving like an ass while at chess no matter how rude you wont get smacked with the board, plus chess is one of the least social events, you have to be quiet at all times.
TALK ABOUT THE TOPIC NOT JUDO AND ALSO STOP ARGU
