Speaking of not being a Sport. Do you believe that Equestrian is a Sport?
How many real sports center around a human attaching to something, and then being able to direct/ride that thing to, into, or through a defined area? Off the top of my head: bobsled, ski events, snowboarding, skating...
Now make that object you're attached to alive with its own brain and will. Is the degree of difficulty decreased or increased?
I'm inclined to say that equestrian is a team sport, with teammates being of different species.
Of course, once you accept that premise...
getting your wife (or kids) dressed, away from the mirror, out of the house, and into the car on time, working against the clock, could also be a competitive sport.
