When Does Recreation Become A Sport

September 10th, 2008

So when does recreation become a sport and maybe make it to the Olympics? That’s a good question and I’m not so sure anyone really has a good answer. Take bowling - it’s a fantastic recreation. However serious bowlers figure it ought to be in the Olympics. Why? What makes a sport a sport that qualifies for the big times?

What makes recreation a sport? Do me a favour, check out Fatloss for idiots review. That will help you out! Otherwise go back in history and look up how hockey got started. Follow its rise to the gold medal leagues. Frankly about the only thing I can see that makes a recreation (and hockey once was a recreation - until someone got deadly serious about it) a sport is the number of people involved and the spirit of competitiveness. Gee, that might mean a quilting circle could eventually get to the Olympics.
