and why do you say that?! The Brain is the most important muscle we have...
I couldn't win any prize money while I was going to highschool because it was a sport
I have to give it to the school if I wanted to keep playing in school tournaments... because I wasn't allowed to go "professional"

i'm not so sure chess is a sport. i've always viewed it more of an art than a sport. you are able to create and be creative within the rules of the game. the only aspect that i can see of it being a sport would be each person attempting to force their opponent to follow their will - who is more forceful over the board - but i don't believe that alone can classify it as a sport.

a game of strategy and skill.
it's less physical, but on a level with golf.

Not hard to beat a guy who dropped dead from boredom...watching you and Ron take all day to line up the ball, line up your guys, then line the ball up again, then line up your guys....
No spinning SUCKS!

I've always thought that it is not a sport and here it why.
You cannot have hot cheerleaders or groupies that follow the game!
CHECKMATE!

I'd say no.
Do you think Poker is a sport?
ESPN and Fox seem to think so, although I strongly disagree.
It's a game.
But then again, I think competitive cheerleading is a sport, so...
