Sports kinda generalized. A sport doesnt require a game to be played(e.g Dance is a sport)

Leans more on the athletic side still, albeit being (generally) fake. The flip side of the sporting debate are the sports that are sports but are unatheletic (e.g lawn games, precision games such as shooting)

    If it's a dancing competition... I say that because pro wrestling is scripted, "winning" really means nothing, it's like watching a fight in a movie, it's just entertainment (Van Damme winning the Kumite tournament in Bloodsports isn't something to be on the sports section, and it's as meaningful as a pro wrestling match...)

    I've never liked WWE but I don't think every move happening during the matches is scripted, and they're still out there performing stunts that require athleticism. Plus having a winner isn't really what defines a sport, because there are people doing like parkour or base jumping or other athletic displays that most people agree are sports.
