Since Dharma & Greg already voted in the poll the tie still stands. Which brave soul will get to break it.. and for which sport?

holy shit rugby vs CURLING?

rugby is 10000000 times more interesting

hmm now this one will be hard 

Hmm, this is tough, but I'm going to say Surfing.

i went with surfing because its cool,
but volleyball sexy ladies YES

i just didnt give in to my primal urges

Hard hittin' rugby, one of my favourite sports to play.. this one is already in the books!

All games are not sports.  A certain physical prowess and skill is a requirement for me to think of an activity as a sport, in addition to some direct competition.  Everything else is just games, hobbies or just plain ol' competitions.  Moving a mouse or laying cards on a table do not qualify.  American Idol is not a sport.

American Idol is a competition, not a game. It's not an activity governed by a set of rules or customs (you just do what the producer says and if the audience likes you, you go on to the next stage). It's not particularly competitive, you just do your part and see what happens.

Skill is not always physical. Poker takes a lot of skill to master. And it is physical if you're fat.

And, have you never gone to school?  I'm sorry for being pendantic, but I was pointing out how that loose definition of sport encompasses pretty much everything.

If you're pendantic, yes. The term covers any competitive game that requires a level of skill to play, in my opinion.

Curling rocks!

Curling is one of the most boring sports to watch...

Rugby for me!

This is a tough one. I've always sucked at volleyball, but every surfing videogame I've ever played was pretty lame, to say the least. I'm going to have to go with volleyball (for its close sport-relation to its retarded cousin, dodgeball)

Well, if we're going to argue along those lines then:

• Singing is an activity
• Doing what the producer says and say, singing a type of song is being going along the lines of a set of rules
• It is competitive

What any gameshow then? Can Jeopardy be considered a sport? Survivor? There has to be a concrete line drawn between a competitive game/event and a sport.

Well, yeah. By the logic being used to define Poker a sport, then alot of things could be classified as that, right?

I definately gave in.

Actually, volleyball is one of my favorite sports.  I played volleyball in highschool - I played middle even though I am only 5'10" (I had a great vertical).

Curling obviously. UUSIS ON ÄIJÄ!

In my opinion a sport is what the International Olympic Committee recongises as a sport. If it's not recognised by them as a sport it's not a real sport. It might be working its way towards becoming a real sport though and eventually it might get recognised.

I love how close this is. Go Curling! <3

What's sexier than watching fully clothed woman sweep the ice?
