So baseball isn't a sport either? I've thought of that before. It would explain the beer bellies on the even the pros.
"Athleticism" or "sport" can refer to a wide variety of things. It can be a combination of endurance, strength, speed, skill, and strategy. Curling happens to focus on the latter two.
Some people have a narrow idea of what "sport" means, which is too bad.
Maybe they can join the droves of protesters urging to have curling removed from the games on account of it not being a sport.
You know, especially because it's
sooo easy.
