Sports by definition, an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. But does that actually apply to every activity? Some say yes others (like myself say no).
Sports. Not very hard to know what a sport looks like. What’s an example? Basketball, Football, Soccer, Lacrosse, but how about Show Choir? or even Competitive Dance?
At my high school, its mandatory to take one year of gym, unless you’re in a sport, in that case you get credit for that semester. Seems fair and reasonable, but a lot of athletic kids love having gym as a class because they get to be active and play sports for an hour in the day. My school has decided to allow Varsity singer, which is an advanced choir class and they go to competitions and stuff, to be allowed to be considered a sport, they have even gone one step further and allowed every choir class to be considered a sport, ie; 4 choirs, even the beginning choir class. So they are all allowed to have credit for gym but since they are considered all year around sport, they never have to take gym. Not one varsity singer this year, took gym.
VARSITY SINGERS OR ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT IS NOT A SPORT!
