Darts simply is not a sport, end of. Neither for that matter are dominoes, tiddlywinks, bar billiards, shove ha'penny, buckaroo, mousetrap or cluedo!

Disagree that he made a t!t of himself, good on the guy for having a go I say. Yes he played the fool a bit when it was obvious he wasn't going to beat Mo Farrah in a running race but isn't that what it's all about?

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

Yes, good on him for giving it a shot, but it did highlight the ridiculousness of certain activities being classed as sports, and those taking part in them seeing themselves as sportsmen or athletes.
It rather highlights how daft it is for Phil Taylor, and other Darts players, to class themselves, similarly, as sportsmen, seeing as they are a similar activity, but without the pricey equipment. | | | |

Lucky no British weightlifter won an Olympic medal, then, otherwise they would doubtless have been made to look idiotic running the 100m on Superstars. Which is obviously what their skillset is all about.
Amusing that how being competitive on a resurrected 80s TV programme appears to be the definition of 'true sportsperson' on here...
Wasn't aware that excelling in one sport AND being mediocre at others was the criteria for being a sportsperson 
Athleticism and sporting prowess are not the same thing. | | | |

Fully agree, but I think the main problem in the whole debate is that there has to be a line drawn somewhere in what actually qualifies as a sport.....At the moment, the line is extremely vague.
As I said in an earlier post, I don't honestly see why Darts' fans see it has being so important that it is recognised as a sport (and similarly non-Darts fans pushing the opposite view).... Personally, I just think its a skill that is more suited to be classed as a game, than an actual sport, pretty similar to golf.

You've obviously not watched many Phil Taylor interviews. He comes out with ridiculous remarks practically after every match. | | | |
