The Theory of Sport

Before the first game of the season I have ample opportunity to engage my 3 year old son in my yet to be published 'theory of sport'.

The theory is as follows:-

In order for a pursuit to be considered a 'sport' as opposed to a hobby, pastime or game it has to comply with the following:-

1. At it's highest level men must be better at it than women.
2. At it's highest level the top players can not be fat.
3. The winner must be able to be determined by an objective test.
i.e. not a judgement by others.

This naturally confines the following to hobby status:-

Ice skating and Diving (breach of rule 3). (note:- boxing passes this test)
Darts and Golf (breach of rule 2.)
Netball and Mud Wrestling (breach of rule 1. )

My son naturally is perplexed by the conundrum of how Shot Put squeezes through despite rule 2 and I ignore his persuasive argument to allow in 'Pass the Parcel' on the basis it breaches rule 1.
