When the NFL season is done, the players go play golf. So, can you really consider golf a real sport? 4/8/2012 2:59PM Reply | Return to Index | Report Post
The real athletes play golf when their seasons are done and when their bodies are torn down. Does this delegitimize golf as a real sport?

I bet they go run, too. What does that tell you?

No, of course golf isn't a sport, though its more athletic practitioners *tend* to do better. (That's not saying much, though--more-athletic people tend to do better in a lot of human activities.)

For that matter, football isn't a sport, either. They're both games. Nothing wrong with that: games are fun to play and fun to watch; they're just not sports, y'know, the way The Sport (t&f/xc) is.

So golf is illegitimate because people play it for fun and relaxation? That would make every sport illegitimate. I mean, you do realize that that is more or less what sports are for, right?

Didnt basketball players play some touch football? Football players play some basketball? I know baseball players have played basketball in the offseason, of course the only real sport is running. The punishment on all these teams is to go run a lap, so in between playing their games and getting in trouble they end up having to do the hardest part of the day and run

I've heard that after the golf season is over the players all get together and play a touch football game.

Touch football isn't a real sport. It's actually a bit gay...trying to reach for another man's waist. You know what I'm saying, fersure?

Doped sports are not athletics.
