That definition is flawed, to put it mildly. Are you telling me that you wouldn't consider track & field or swimming events to be sports?

A sport is where you can directly influence your opponents performance. By that definition weight lifting is not a sport.


Wrong. The qualifier for sport status is subjective versus objective judging. Figure skating, gymnastics, drum corps, diving, and other such sports have subjective judging. The judges have basic criteria, but there can always be some argument as to who the winner was. If it's objectively judged, there is no way to argue who the winner was if you have the right footage to review (a la football, baseball, archery, etc.).

I propose this question to those who think drum corps
should be a sport:

Have you guys ever been involved in a sports team?
