Is there a 'sport' for planting one's tongue firmly in one's cheek? If so then you are truly an Olympian. Awesome (and hilarious) comments on all these 'competitive' activities...thank you!
I missed a lot of those comments. My friends and I used to joke about an ultimate triathlon: 15 rounds, 18 holes, 500 miles. But I think that one of your readers topped that. Bullfighting and mountain climbing plus motorsports sounds Hemingwayesque. Plus you can eet stake if you win.
I recall an ABC show, Superstars, in which athletes from different sports competed. Football running backs, including O. J. Simpson, seemed to be the most frequent winners.
I know you're doing this to get a reaction, but still... dance is purely a 'reacreational' activity? Ballet dancers are fitter than anyone and they have the most grueling selection. Try doing this, and then keeping this level of activity up for 3 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfmSv0z205s
You also don't bother to define "sports", and I would expect better from a fellow Objectivist. If you bother to look into the root of the word, you find that sport originally meant recreation, so drawing a distinction between the two is idle.

Re Morris Dancing, my grandmother would scream at my brother, my cousin and myself for anything remotely similar, even without hats.
Somebody continues to be quite full of himself.

As regards "anything with weapons" - here's Singaporean Wushu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0oYxkWbI6E
