There are a bunch of Adidas ads that play on this concept too.
There are? Can you link to some?

To me, yachting isn’t a sport – and I mean this at America’s Cup level – simply because the thing that seems to define it is how much money you spend on your boat. And the skill required to sail said boat is secondary.
It makes it like any kind of motor racing or cycling event then (where exact mechanical duplicates are not mandated). Part of F1, NASCAR etc is how good your crew is. Just means your team is that much bigger.

Yeah, but if the competition has to be aesthetically judged (what a beautiful triple axel!) rather than physically judged (this one got over the line first!), is it a sport?
That's why I said it was a competition, because you are judged on something rather than it being a binary win-lose situation. (Tied games are only allowed when we get quantum computing)

the only sport you should like is football
I am also willing to add football to the non-sport list.

Chess is a game; Ballroom Dancing is a competition bordering on a sport.

What I, at least, am asking, is to be allowed to have my fun, without being told on a pretty regular basis, that the RWC is A Problem and Here’s Why.
This. So much this. I now sit on my hands and keep my mouth shut around certain company who want to tell me how bad rugby is and how stupid I am for liking it.
Not here though. Here I'm quite happy to tell you all to get fucked and ask things like "So no Richie also means no Mils right? Because you can't have one get to 100 tests before the other, that'd be way too mean."
