Im sorry but Nascar is not a sport.
It irks when people try to argue that it is. If anyone can come up with a reasonable point as to why Nascar is a sport I may change my opinion, but as of now, I dont see people who drive cars as athlete's.
Haha, you kiddin'? Ok, you go out and drive around a mile long track for three plus hours going 200mph inside a hot ass car with NO breaks and see how long you last. You probably couldn't even stomach the speed for half a lap. I don't even like NASCAR and respect the guys that do it.
Since you don't consider NASCAR a sport, I take it that you don't consider ANY type of racing a sport, am I correct? Of course I am, cause you'd be contridicting yourself otherwise. I doubt you could handle a 3,000+ horsepower drag car for only the four seconds that they even run, shit's got more G-Forces than ANYTHING on the plant... for FOUR FUCKING seconds.
What’s the definition of a sport- Any recreational activity; specif., a game, competition, etc. requiring bodily exertion
So they go fast and get sweaty for 3 three hours, there not athlete's. I’m not saying its not a difficult thing to do and that everyone can do it, but some chess players are exhausted after hours of competitive chess, is that a sport? I’ve seen people playing games at competitive video game tournaments sweat profusely, is that a sport? No, there events just like NASCAR, all be it NASCAR may be a hard event to do. Just because something is difficult and people get hot doing it doesn’t make them athletic, they sit in a car. C’mon man.
And as for the Tour de France just look at the definition of a sport, yes I do consider that a sport with the whole athletic bodily exertion.
