It only fits two of termyt's four requirements therefore not a sport.

Read around on the movie board for common view on that. I guess what I failed to realise is that this thread is one persons tainted views of what are and what are not sports.
But, since most definitions of things are relative to the experiences each of us have had in life, it's very hard for people to agree on one single definition of a word

There isn't a credible defense in hunting...unless you had a second guy running in front of the animal to "block" the other hunter's bullet...then it would have a credible defense, but then it really WOULD be cruel and inhumane.
Also, there's no quantitative scoring...well, I guess whoever shoots the animal that weighs the most would get the most points, but I don't know...I know they rank deer by the number of "points," but not all hunting involves deer.
But it doesn't fit the "credible defense" requirement, so by the established definitions, it isn't a sport.
