    But this is obviously invalidated if any participant wears makeup or sparkly clothes.

    so football(soccer) isnt a sport! now that I can agree on

    Go away and research the subject, analyze the options for and against, understand the problem and them come back when you agree with me.

      it definitely sounds like it might transgress the KSS rule.

          I mean really, they're skilled, fit, they've practiced their arses off but this[^] is no more a sport than ballet is.

            What about that thing where chicks skate next to some weight and rub the ice to make it go faster ? Curling ? Hurling ? I forget.

                At least with motor racing there is a clear winner - the guy who went across the line first (assuming no rule infringements). There is no "Artistic Impression" element which is subjective and thus not measurable. If you allow that you could end up with something like Synchronised Swimming being a sport! :laugh: Synchronised Swimming is a sport? :omg: Are you sure? :wtf: Oh damn.

                Well if Nascar was more like a demolition derby we'd have room for style points; but for some reason they tend to frown on giant crashes. :-\
