LMAO! I forgot about this one! I promise to try and get the answer in the next couple of days - if this person who set the quiz is in work...

I don't really look at fishing as a sport...

You mean, suckering one of the duller examples of marine life into swallowing a hook over several hours isn't a sport? Goodness, I wonder why? I always considered it a form of torture--whether for the fish, or the fisher, I'm not sure.

How about skeet shooting or archery? Are those considered sports.

If the guy holding the gun or the bow says it's a sport, it is.

Good point, but that's not really where I was headed.

How about bungee jumping? Some of the people who jump off of cranes (as opposed to bridges) have nets under them (although in my book it takes balls to jump off a crane with nothing but an oversized rubber band to stop you from hitting the concrete).

Is fishing isn't a sport, bungee jumping sure as hell isn't (I have a feeling though, HLD, this is answer #4. so sad)

Relax Ned. I was just kidding about fishing.
But bungee is no sport, and most of the time there is no net.

Ringette - a team sport for girls, similar to ice hockey; you score by shotting a hollow rubber ring into a net guarded by a goaltender

Sounding promising!! how widely known is it? If only I could confidently give this persons definition of 'sport' it might help Hopefully we might know in a day or two or I will be very embarrassed

Here is one for those who know English football - there are 19 suffixes to team names. Examples

United (as in Manchester and Leeds)
City (as in Manchester and Coventry)

How many more can you get? (double points awarded to non UK residents

Do one-word teams count? Like Arsenal etc.

Forest
Wanderers
Wednesday
Town
Vale (is this ok???)
Athletic

More will doubtless come...like the more obvious ones
