Sports That Shouldn't Be Considered Sports
In my opinion they just shouldn't be counted as sports and should be included in a different category.
Horseback riding (or Equestrian) is one of the most intense sports known to man. Not only because it's physically challenging, but it takes more than athleticism. Horseback riding takes commitment, time, patience, and most importantly building a bond with your horse. If you don't have a good relationship... read more Ummm EXCUSE ME! And to think that people say that American football IS A SPORT! It's pretty obvious that whoever wrote this dumb and FALSE list has never been on a horse. I'd like to see you ride and control and 1200+ pound animal that has a mind body and soul of its own! You have to trust your life with that horse and communicate through body cues and signals with a whip or crop. My brother tells me that equestrianism isn't a sport but he's too scared to even go near a horse because he thinks he's gonna get kicked. Try having that fear CONSTANTLY while being on their back, maintaining perfect posture and keeping your horse calm and collected. Horses can get spooked, refuse, buck, rear, nip other horses etc, while sitting on their back with no escape except falling to the ground. Yeah it's just so "easy." I'm extremely insulted and to think that horse riding was FIRST on this stupid list and it physically makes me want to cry. Sorry for my rant, I just NEEDED to release my anger out on someone.
Cheerleading is a sport and performance activity that combines elements of dance, gymnastics, and acrobatics. Originating in the United States, it has evolved significantly over the years, moving beyond the traditional role of leading cheers for sports teams to become a highly competitive activity in its own right. Cheerleading squads perform choreographed routines that include stunts, jumps, and tumbling, often at athletic events or competitions. The sport has gained international popularity, with various championships and organizations promoting skill development and competition. Incredibly, incredibly insulting. This entire list infuriates me. You try holding a person in the air and knowing their life rests on your shoulders! Or try being the person in the air, and knowing a single mistake will paralyze you for life? Cheerleaders train hours and hours a day, and fit the definition of a sport in every way. They are not walking stereotypes, prissy, or queen of the school. In fact, they don't even use pom poms or shout out encouraging words "go team! ". It is the equivalent of a collaborated gymnastics floor routine where people are tossed into the air and hold on by one foot. See one competitive cheer routine and attend a standard four-hour practice before saying it isn't a sport.
And the inclusion of gymnastics on this list is nothing but pure ignorance to an incredibly difficult and physically strenuous sport. Possibly the only sport that requires you to be proficient in every single physical aspect and working every muscle in your body. Not to ...more
It is one of the most stupid sport on earth, you just cheer for your team and says it's a sport. Who made it is so stupid and is gay.
This should be #1
Shouldn't be a sport, you are just sweeping.
Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. It is a Martial Art but used in competition as a sport.
Gymnastics is a sport involving the performance of exercises requiring strength, flexibility, balance and control. Not my thing, but why wouldn't this be a sport?
Why is this not obvious if you sit in a car you are not playing sport fairly simple right?
Driving a car is not athletic at all.
Bull riding is a rodeo sport that involves a rider getting on a bucking bull and attempting to stay mounted while the animal tries to buck off the rider.American bull riding has been called "the most dangerous eight seconds in sports." To receive a score, the rider must stay atop the bull for eight seconds with the use of one hand gripped on a bull rope tied behind the bull's forelegs.Riding a motorcycle isn't athletic.
Yep your right
Who has fun getting smacked by a red ball?

Target shooting is a sport, but hunting is just a hobby.

Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players each. It is played with a spherical ball. The objective is to score the ball in the other teams goal. Yes, it's a sport. Just boring.
Archery is the sport, practice or skill of using a bow to propel arrows. The word comes from the Latin arcus.
Badminton is a racquet sport played using racquets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles" and "doubles".
Ping-pong, or table tennis, is a sport where players hit a lightweight ball back and forth across a table.
Shooting guns isn't a sport.
Field Hockey is a team sport played on a grass or turf field, involving two teams of 11 players each. The objective is to use a curved stick to hit a small, hard ball into the opponent's goal. Originating in the British Isles, the sport has gained global popularity and is especially well-known in regions like Europe, Asia, and Australia. Field hockey is played both recreationally and professionally, and it is an Olympic sport with a strong emphasis on speed, skill, and teamwork. Don't actually listen to this one! I'm listing it because my friend plays it and I want her to stop
