Thank you for explaining. I can understand why that would make you upset.
However, competition is within the the very definition of the word sport, so if someone wants to classify parkour as a legitimate sport, there needs to be competitions, correct? Forgive my literal interpretation, but I am an English teacher. It sounds like you're more upset about the group's attempt to capitalize on the artform and philosophy which is parkour. I only brought the group up to make a point about the possible evolution of parkour into a sport since it was mentioned in this thread. Obviously there is a lot of personal politics and dissertion within the parkour community which I am unaware.
i think i'll just stick to skateboarding :)
Good choice!Quote:

running is a sport but it doesn't have to be a competition.Quote:

Running as a sport is competitive though, competing against others or time and yourself. Running to get the bus doesn't conjure up sport at all, neither does my commute to work even though driving too can be a sport when its put in context with competition and rules.Quote:

So i'm still struggling to find a sport that is completely free from that and is just an activity.
well i cant find the thing anywhere, but a guy (i think it was yaro) on the pk forums made a thread explaining how it is a sport, ill try to find it for you, or ill make a new thread asking.Quote:
