National sport of Canada

What is national sport of Canada ???

I'm pretty sure it is ice hockey.

I'm new to the adding message thing so I hope it gets there. As I said it is pretty cool. It's definitely ice hockey, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.116.232.154 (talk) 13:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Sport in Canada. Please ask questions like this at Wikipedia:Reference desk. Thanks. -- Quiddity (talk) 19:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename proposal for this page and all the pages of the set this page belongs to

OK. I have to question the physical nature of poker and chess etc. They are clearly not sports; they are games of immense skill, and unless someone can demonstrate that they are physical in nature, I think they should be removed from this list. 81.156.37.253 (talk) 00:43, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Guidelines for outlines

Guidelines for the development of outlines are being drafted at Wikipedia:Outlines.

Your input and feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

The "History of" section needs links!

Please add some relevant links to the history section.

Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates. Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

== Types of sport ==

We really don't need to duplicate what is already in List of sports. We should just replace the section with

== Types of sport == {{main|List of sports}} == History of sports ==

Straw poll and discussion concerning what outlines should be called

A discussion is underway that may affect the name of this article.

See: Wikipedia talk:Outlines#Should articles named "Outline of x" be renamed to "List of x topics"?

Resolution of preceding 5 sections

What is the resolution? At the moment,

"List of sports" and "Sports topics" redirect here

"List of sports topics" redirects to "Sport" --P64 (talk) 23:52, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Physical sports, Mind sports, Miscellanea, Other

A while ago someone commented above without any heading,

OK. I have to question the physical nature of poker and chess etc. They are clearly not sports; they are games of immense skill, and unless some one can demonstrate that they are physical in nature, I think they should be removed from this list. 81.156.37.253 (talk) 00:43, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Today I added column format to many sections and moved some images (only partly as required by columns). I noticed both the redundancy of Miscellaneous and Other and their questionable grouping under Miscellanea.

How much of Mind sports, Miscellanea, etc (1.2 to 1.7 in the outline numbering) really needs distinction from "physical sports" (1.1)? Here are some suggestions:

move Target and Wind into physical sports
combine Miscellaneous and Other, somehow
move most Miscellanea subclasses including Miscellaneous/Other into physical sports
consider what's left of 1.2 to 1.7
classification of some sports as "team" sports is a different kind of classification, maybe more important, but it doesn't belong here

Good luck with this mess. Over and out. --P64 (talk) 00:05, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not Sports

Read all of the items listed on this page and swear to the world they are sports. You can't. My personal least favorite: Tiddlywinks. (!) If its not athletic, its not a sport. It may be a worthwhile game or activity, but its not a sport. Similarly, dancing is athletic, but isn't a sport either. Without an objective definition of success beyond judgement of artistic merit, any given activity is not a sport either. ie Athletic Arts Are Not Sports. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.88.249 (talk) 10:11, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should nuke tiddlywinks from the outline.

Though competition dance is a sport.

Trash sports

I thought there was a class of television known as "trash sports" where tv makes up a competition featuring "unusual" combination of events for competition by amateurs for a "real world" feel. Where do those go? Note that reality shows, featuring amateur non-notables, are already in Wikipedia. Student7 (talk) 20:33, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Golf?

Whoever compiled this list omitted golf. Frankly, I'm really not sure why the old "List of Sports" article needed to be replaced by this poorly organized and confusing one, anyway. For my two cents, I would revive the old version. 24.57.148.137 (talk) 19:07, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
