You seem so angry like they have really harmed you and done something very wrong but i have no idea what.

    they put themselves off to be the creators of parkour, try to commercialize the sport thus destroying the whole philosophy of it, they are trying to create parkour competition once again destroying what the whole sport is about, and they also threatened the entire australia parkour movement i quote "you guys will be steam rollered, on a global scale" because we refused to let them take over and control the entire movement in australia, then they tried to sue us because we stood against it.

    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 know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

    a sport can be an activity, there are sports that are non competitive too.

    running is a sport but it doesn't have to be a competition.
    a dictionary definition i got was "Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively." as you can see it says OFTEN.

    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.

    The use of often could refer to the removal of intense competition like for instance in a charity sporting event by people who aren't really athletes, its still a sporting event governed by rules but the win lose factor becomes less significant...i guess thats the same for fun runs and the like, they aren't really as competitive either but are still structured in a competitive way. So i'm still struggling to find a sport that is completely free from that and is just an activity.
