What Is A Sport

What is a sport? What qualifies an activity to be called a sport? What is the definition of sport? I believe that for an activity to qualify as a sport it needs to require skill and competition. Some people would say for an activity to qualify as a sport there needs to be contact and a ball or puck. People say football is a sport because it is a contact sport and has a ball. People say that cheer and fishing and eating and playing video games and curling and hunting are not  real sports. Just because there is no ball or contact involved in these does not mean that they are not sports. Just because you don't see any major events about these on TV does not mean that they are not sports it just means that they are less popular sports because they are not contact sports.
         People might say that cheer does not involve any skill but in reality it actually requires a lot of skill and there is competition. For an activity it needs to have competition. If there was no competition in sports you would not want to watch them. For example you would not want to watch football if there was no competition because you wouldn't want to watch a game were there is no competition and no competitive players.
           cooking is not really a sport. It is considered a sport but not many people would rather watch competitive cooking over a super bowl. There are many activity's that can be considered a sport and there are some that should never be made into competition.
