Darts

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Whilst weightlifting is incredibly tedious the people involved have strength , power , flexibility etc

Apart from one or two the vast majority of darts players exhibit little in the way of athletic physiques

In fact some of them are obese

From time to time in football , rugby , athletics , cricket , etc you might see an out of shape competitor but it's very rare

The reason why you see overweight darts players , snooker players and fisherman is because you don't have to be very fit , if at all , to compete

I'm talking about the OED definition of a sport. Requires physical exertion and skill.

Weightlifting involves very little skill. Darts involves very little physical exertion. I couldn't give a rat's arse about the physical condition of a competitor as that doesn't matter according to the OED. So, using the OED definition, not Sludge's own opinion, what's the difference?
