Is fishing a sport?

[Dawg4Life]

Ping pong has a ball and a net. Not a sport. Like hockey and soccer. Hockey and soccer are games. No real athletes play hockey or soccer. Or ping pong.

Wow. Even my cynical *** can't go that far. One may not like soccer, may even hate it, but to not call it a sport is just crazy.

Soccer is just people running around. They might kick a ball every now and then. As far as I'm concerned, running around for a set length of time is not a sport.<div>
</div><div>Hockey is a combination of figure skating and professional wrestling. Figure skating - not a sport. Professional wrestling - entertainment. Therefore hockey is just an entertaining game. Not a sport.</div>

If soccer and hockey can be called sports anything can be a sport.

If you think hockey is not a sport, you have never played hockey. I guarantee you pro hockey players mostly more athletic and tougher than the average athlete from any other sport.

At least Dawg4Life's ridiculous post made me laugh.

before anyone could say fishing isn't a sport they should be required to head to Venice, LA and hook into a 200-300 lb Yellowfin Tuna. Bet you sit your *** down for a while after that, that's if you get it to the boat!
