Many comics have pointed out various aspects of the use of the name sport for some of our recreational activities. According to some, golf is not a sport because there's no one trying to keep the ball out of the hole. Fishing is not a sport because it relies on fooling a vastly less capable nervous system that food is available. Weightlifting - pick up a heavy weight, put it down again. Not sport - it's indecision!

I'm not sure going after a sport metaphor is as desirable a goal as is possible.
