I'm not saying golf pros aren't extremely skilled but, it's a recreational activity, not a sport.

I don't see the masses freaking out about bowling and darts.

Another one of my favorites is the documentary Choke.

It follows defending champion Rickson Gracie and others in the 1995 Japan Vale Tudo Mixed Martial Arts tournament.

Being I'm a student of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I loved this movie!

I also liked the HBO special The Smashing Machine- The Life And Times Of Extreme Fighter Mark Kerr.

A brutal look at the price Mark Kerr pays to stay on top of the fight game.

So golf, bowling and darts aren't sports, but horse-racing is?

You guys need to learn what the definition of sport is. Here's some help:
