If they get rid of the targets and make it a kind of team dart fighting with tranquilizers or poison on the darts...I think about it then.

I'll say sport, not athletes.

Darts is every bit as much a sport as hopscotch, curling, billiards, lawn bowling, croquet and golf.

Yep - by that standard Darts is a sport. It's a lot like curling - which is a non-athlete sport that incorporates a shitload of drinking.

Darts is not a sport Darts is not a sport. Websters dictionary defines sport: that which amuses;diversion;pastime;merriment;object of jest;mockery;outdoor game or recreation of atheletic nature.

sempd5, you should understand that we have been doing these sport/not threads for awhile. An inside joke to some extent, please take it in that regard.

Darts: not a sport Dart throwers: not atheletes

Shooting is a sport, and so is archery. So, now you throw a dart and it isn't?? It's called a target sport, and it is played by atheletes. It requires hand-eye coordination, concentration, reflexes, and strategy. One could even argue that it is more demanding than some of the "Run in a straight line" events.

Okay, fine then. Shooting: not a sport Shooters: not athletes Unless they're participating in a biathalon at the time. Like bill says (this?), the designation thing is an old inside joke here. Arguing with it is pointless.

Is arguing about whether something is a sport a sport? I think I pulled something.

You have got to be kidding? I think drinking beer should be an olympic sport so I can get one of those gold medels. They won't let bowling in, what makes anybody think darts belongs anyplace besides the bar.
