Non-Sports

Did you know that the Winter Olympics are going on right now in Italy? Probably not, because the winter olympics are unwatchable and are not real sports. Likewise, NASCAR is not a sport.

People watch real sports to see the participants do well and excel. For instance; football is exciting when 2 good teams score a lot of touchdowns, basketball is exciting when there are dunks and 3 pointers, baseball when there are home runs.

The Winter Olympics and NASCAR are not sports because people watch them to see the participants perform poorly and fail. Think about it, when was the last time you heard someone say:

"Bo, hand me another Coors Light, and did you see that NASCAR race? The cars went around the track really fast."; or

"Did you see the luge last night? Those Norwegians were really lying on top of each other."

Never - People watch the Winter Olympics and NASCAR to see the participants perform poorly, fail, crash, wreck, and if you are really lucky, sustain life threatening injuries.

If the "highlights" only show people or vehicles flipping over, out of control, as opposed to showing winning, or a good play - Not a sport.

Winter Olympics and NASCAR are no more sports than America's Funniest Home Videos.
