Don't get him started on this lame argument again. He likes Nascar and thinks it's a sport above gymnastics. I mean, cmon.
NASCAR is a manly sport. It gets pretty hot in those cars on race day so I'm sure that drivers sweat a lot more than gymnasts. All forms of racing are sports. Human races, horse races and even yacht racing by billionaires. Gymnasts are great athletes, as are professional wrestlers.
The days of big fat drivers is over. Drivers now work out to stay in shape. And I'm sure wrestlers burn lots of calories too.
You don't have a point. Baseball has runs. Hockey has goals. Some card games have points. Knives, pencils and ice picks have points. You would never watch gymnastics if your daughter wasn't a participant.
I'm pretty sure if you me and shane sat our asses in a sauna and decided who lasted the longest was the winner it wouldn't mean we were athletes. Or make sauna sitting a sport.
Precisely why I said "swimming" in one. Not diving, not synchro.....swimming. The out come is based on who is the fastest to the wall. In either case, pool will never be a sport no matter how much you may dislike or mistrust the judging involved in other athletic contests.
