Where do you draw the line between sports and games? Are sports competitive where games are fun? Is poker a sport? Are video games capable of being sports? What could be done to golf that would make it a sport? Are all sports games if not all games are sports?

These are the questions that keep me up at night.

Not saying I hold this opinion myself but I think people that say this usually draw the line to physical exertion being required.

When I think of sport I think of anything where one sweats due to physical exertion.

I sweat playing rocket league and working on my car, but they're not sports.

If you can play it while drinking a beer it isn't a sport.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Any sport can be played while drinking a beer if you put your mind to it and believe in yourself.

Ever hear of Beer league hockey, sport?

Chess is a sport, and one can absolutely play chess drunk

I mean you can believe what you want, but you're factually incorrect
