The diffrence between a game and a sport.

[EricSmyth]

What makes a sport a sport and not a game and visa versa? And, is a
hobby a degree of a sport or game? Example: is pool a game or sport.
If hunting is a sport then is stamp collecting? Fishing is considered
a sport but gardening is'nt.

Heres the answer

Was there really much reason to copy/paste all that?

Solving Rubik's Cubes (which I do at COMPETITIONS) is considered a sport here, like I would too, but most people would probably disagree.

You don't what? You don't disagree? Or you don't consider it a sport? Two opposite meanings. Stop with the 1-2 word answers, and be clearer for once.

I wouldn't

If huge crowds of people are willing to pay 80 bucks to watch OTHER people play it, its a sport.

if not, then it isn't.

yeah that would prbably be the best definition. but in freestyle snow skiing i could tell that it was a game and it transformed into an olympic sport
