Baseball? A sport?

There is a simple test to determine if an activity rises to the level of a sport. Can you do it while chewing tobacco? By this criteria, baseball fails but cheerleading passes.Waterfowl hunting fails so is not a sport.

Why can't someone chew tobacco and lead some cheers at the same time?

Why can't one cheerlead with a dip in? I suspect even football players could, if they wanted to.

There's more...Everyone remembers that girl on the high school spirit squad who choked on Skoal and was subsequently crushed to death by a crumbling human pyramid.
Baseball players face no such danger. The most rigorus activity they perform is the slow jog from the spot where they stand still to the spot where they sit.

Injuries....lol.
Detroit Tigers pitcher Joel Zumaya injured himself playing guitar hero.
Sammy Sosa...hurt himself sneezing.
Baseball is not a sport.

The only thing more fragile than a baseball player is his ego. Players constantly hurt each others feelings by breaking unwritten rules, which solely exist to give them an excuse to throw temper tantrums. A few seasons ago a pitcher ranted to the media that an oponent had disrespected him by stepping on the pitchers mound.
The spat over a little clump of dirt was exponentially more exciting then the game itself and made headlines in the baseball press for the next 18 months.
It is not a sport. Neither us golf or nascar.

Isn't there a rule in baseball now that you can't dip while playing? Doesn't that make it a sport now?

I don't think so. I can't see the players union letting that get passed...

That is only at Wrigley field where you must chew double-mint gum instead.

So Baseball is only a sport when it is played at Wrigley field?
