Talk:Sport/Archive 3

Change the definition provided at the beginning of this article
Hello, I recently made a small adjustment to the article. It was almost instantly reverted. This is in regards to the words “that aims to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants and, in some cases, entertainment to spectators.” Now, the source for this statement does not say that a sport by definition provides enjoyment to participants, which is immediately an issue. The user who reverted my edits claimed that the article said a sport maintains or improves mental health and enjoyment is part of that, but that does not justify the current version of this article. Enjoyment is just part and we should use broader terms when introducing something as loosely defined as sport. The irrelevancy is further proven by the fact that the article in the subsections of definitions doesn’t mention enjoyment in any major way. Change this sentence to say “maintain or improve physical and mental health” to match the source and to provide a broader, more relevant to the article definition. That is all I propose. Thank you.

Should we have a specific section talking about controversy in the definition of sports?
Seems to be a lot of disagreement among people as to what is and what is NOT a sport. Looking through archives of the talk page, I even see a section saying that a sport requires a ball or puck. Now, given that there are more sports that don't use balls than sports that do, and zero organizations seem to support that view, I'm not suggesting we include that view, but I did want to point just how much disagreement there is, baseless or otherwise. The article addresses this slightly, but I think it should be specifically expanded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.27.204.252 (talk) 22:31, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

 * while I totally agree, I believe this sort of thing would best stay elaborated upon under articles about physical activity in general. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:7601:7D57:1D05:2C11:BB13:C3B4 (talk) 10:39, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Benefits of sports
I came here looking for a section on the benefits of sports, but it appears to be sadly lacking in that department. It should discuss the health, social, organizational, and psychological benefits of sports. There are also societal benefits as an outlet. Praemonitus (talk) 15:23, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Mental and physical health of sports
It would be very beneficial to include a section about the mental health benefits aside from the physical health benefits. Mental health has become an important topic of conversation so adding discussion around the mental sides of sports would help attract more people.  Ambaum (talk) 20:27, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", in which there is no single winner; others provide tie-breaking methods to ensure one winner and one loser.

Please remove "and one loser". There's no fundamental reason that a tiebreaker must apply only to situations with exactly two competitors. For example, Tiebreaker discusses a situation in which five shooters are tied for first place, so all five of them enter a tiebreaker, and whether "loser" applies to #2-#5 or only to #5 isn't defined. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 01:04, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
