Darts

[Eric the Half a Bee]

I don't think it's a sport

What physical conditioning like strength , power , speed and flexibility do these players have ?

It's a pub pastime turned into great TV

And it is great tv

And like snooker it's highly skilled

It's like fishing

But it's not a sport , surely not ?

What about stuff like weightlifting? No skill involved at all, just pure strength.

Before you can debate what constitutes a sport you need to define what a sport is. The Oxford dictionary suggests "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or a team competes against another or others for entertainment". Darts requires a small amount of physical exertion, no less than a weightlifter requires a small amount of skill. I'd argue darts is more entertaining than weightlifting.
