I am of the belief that any "sport" where you can remain a contender or top player for over 5 - 7 years is not a sport.
You can be a Nascar driver for 15 - 20 years if you so chose. You can't do that in Basketball, NHL or Baseball and remain at top/pinnicle of your game. imo.
I enjoy Nascar but i never refer to the drivers as "athletes"
