Sport in the English language is defined as intense physical activities. Activities played to determine who is best.
You tell me how this is intense physical activity. It’s less of a sport than baseball or golf. Neither of which are sports
Silas R.N
May 23, 2019 at 1:37 pm
+John DoeI don’t think you’ve seen a boomerang tournament. In Fast Catch or Endurance your pulse gets extremely high. In team relay as well. It is a hundred times more intense than golf. As Logan himself says, it’s not just throwing a stick and catching it again.
