Sport or Game?

At the Palace - Charlton game a couple of years ago there was an American dog mascot who was at the ground with a bunch of NFL cheerleaders, and while the Charlton keeper was doing a series of odd bending-over routines, the dog stood just behind him, miming fucking him up the arse and doing a series of effeminate skips and jumps.

The whole crowd was laughing and the keeper was completely oblivious to it all.

If it involves you getting exercise and raising your heart rate above its resting pace, it's a sport.

If not, it's a game.

It's not that black and white as most things are.

I pedalled for 20 mins yesterday on and exercise bike doubling my heart rate for the duration. I was not actively involved in a sport.

I think that there is some overlap here between the two, and there is a mix within the definitions. For example the Olympics are called the Games, but it a collection of sports. I don't think you will ever get a definitive conclusion.

So, we're back to the start. Sport or game?

If someone created an event where they had a 20 minute exercise bike race and the winner was the one that went furthest, then it would be a sport.

Is chess a sport or game? Its a competition that requires incredible mental skill at its highest levels, yet no overly physical skill or exertion if you dont count limbs going to sleep. You can play it by post though, which seems rather tedious and long and not very interesting and would rule it out as a sport, yet i remember watching a league match at Highbury in the 80s.......
