A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

That it's not a sport
Of course it's a sport. Multiple sports even. It takes skill, training and effort to be good at shooting. There are many different shooting sports.
Of course just blindly firing a weapon is not a sport itself. Just as blindly kicking a ball is no sport.
Why do you think shooting is no sport?
If the only reason you're sweating is because you're out in the sun then I'm sorry, that's not a sport, just like chess is not a sport even though it requires skills, training and effort.
Is archery not a sport then? Or say, golf?
Someone has never pulled a bowstring before
So archery is a sport because it requires effort, but the effort isn't the part that makes archery hard? Olympic archers don't struggle with pulling the bowstring, they struggle with aiming the bow to get fractions of a point.
If they ran a lap in between shots during the shooting sports would you call that a sport?
I have, quite a lot, and I would hardly classify the act as particularly athletic.
