No, football is a sport, baseball is a sport, but golf

on the same TV channels as sport. ...

Well, there you have it, my argument in a nutshell.

Bass fishing is no more a "physical activity" than
tossing darts, or bowling balls and engaging in bass
fishing competitively is a very recent phenomenon.

Thanks Pat.



Fishing IS a sport. Baseball, football et al are athletic competitions.
Fishing was called a sport long before the term was applied to games
like baseball and football.
