I agree here. The way I've always been taught is that a key definition of a sport is that there must be a winner and there must be a loser. Whats more, in order for the winner to win, he must actively work to make the other participants lose.

I'm not so much picking at your definition of "sport" as pointing out the futility of trying to nail down some universally accepted definition that has no exceptions.

Resolution to address the subject under discussion rather than run it off the rails into terminology quibbling?
