I play chess myself, but wouldn't call it sports.

Yeah, they seem to have a broader conception of "physical activity" than i do.

What about competitive binge drinking, it is a physical activity, may
be organized and aiming at expressing physical fitness.

Not sure this improves physical fitness and mental well-being. ;)

I'm not so sure about sport=model_car_racing (38 uses), but i can live

Wishing you all a nice (and maybe sporty) weekend!
