"In my book, a sport is a sport when majority of people can play.. they dont have to be tall, short, fat, skinny etc.. where can average person play professional ..."

so , you are telling us that these following sports (traditional ones, being played and enjoyed from the antiquities) are also not sports, where average person cannot compete at professional level:

Strength Required: Wrestling, Weightlifting, Discuss Throw.

Dexterity Required: Archery

Intelligence Required: Chess

yes you might argue, with practice and training you can achieve any of the above. Brother, in that case, you can too in American Footbal. Ok, in Chess you'd have to be super intelligent. Training and practice is just not enough.

Average height of International level volleyball or basketball players is certainly above average human height. But, we all enjoy those games - both watch and play. So, in this sport, taller players have huge advantage and are, by your defintion - Sports but you need bigger men in the American Football, and then it is not Sports? Tyo ta bhayena ni mitra.

All, I am trying to say that, in any sports, only the elites can become professional, not average person. I am not saying that your argument is wrong, but it is not correct as well. you see, sports was created for entertainment by those who are most qualified to play them, whether determined by their physic or by their intelligence.

In my book, Sports is a Sports when it has a set of rules and is freely contested between the players/team. It doesn't matter whether the team has men only, women only, men-women combination, fat, tall, short, giant. Doesn't matter.

Malai chahi yo thread sanga pugyo aba. With baseless reason, do not ever ever, ever ever ever call Football a bad sports. You have no idea - absolutely no idea - the beauty and finesse of the game.

Peace and Enjoy.
