Opie & Anthony - Golf Is Not A Sport

[@SamuraiMonkey80]

Being a guest on O&A qualifies as a sport, because Opie was always out to interrupt a great observation, or deflect the conversation back to himself.

This is why I hate Opie beyond words. Throughout this segment Patrice and Anthony are legit trying to figure out ways how certain things can be changed logically and become a sport. They think of defense, points, tactics etc to make it make sense. What does Opie do? "What about if you uhhh kill the guy? Or beat his child to death in front of you? That'd make it a sport right? HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD HOLD ON!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In golf you play against more than 1 opponent, your mind, the other golfers, and the course itself. Basketball, baseball, football, tennis, all have the same environment every play, but in golf the weather can change the same course during the day... making it one way in the morning and another in the afternoon. Its harder than most sports.

[@zalenahquaddy4354]

Footballs played outside where it rains and snows and gets all types of slippery and muddy it's not guaranteed they're gonna play on a clear day... Environmental defense doesn't count because your opponent can't alter the environment to screw you, if you mess up it's all your fault your opponent couldn't do anything but pray you stunk in the rain

[@johndiddilyjoe6258]

Are you forgetting that Soccer, Football, Baseball, Cricket, Outdoor hockey etc etc are all played mostly outdoors? How is Golf harder than most sports when 80% of the player base are old fat white dudes who's body's are run off nicotine and cheap beer?

From what I learned, Requirements of a sport 1. Physical Exerting Defense in which your physical skill is counteracts the ability of the opponent 2. You cannot compete with a professional athlete. For example: Getting your ass kicked in the NFL, not even getting a shot in the NBA, falling in your face 5 seconds in the NHL.

It's a skilled hobby. Sports have people trying to stop you from scoring.

[@jamesjdoolin]

Golf is not a sport. Golf is a skill. The game of golf doesn't really measure anything physical about the player. Strength and speed dont factor. Some will say you have to be strong to hit a ball X amount of yards down the fairway but that doesn't really count. This game can be played at a relatively high level by guys in their 50's or even 60's. Its a skill. Bowling, race car driving,. darts, billiards, archery, target shooting, fishing, hunting, ballroom dancing, etc. All skills NOT SPORTS. World Class snow skiing and swimming are sports because the participants are in excellent physical condition. You are going fast down the mountain or fast in the pool. You are competing against the clock. There are no 50 year old (or even 40 year old) swimmers or skiers in the Olympics. Track and Field are definitely sports ... again measuring speed against the clock. Usain Bolt fastest human on the planet. Track and Field don't have defensive players but it measures something about the participant, usually their speed and/or strength.
