SWA Writing Arguments pg. 236

1. In the piece, something can be defined as a "sport" if it uses motor skills, have a scoring system, and cannot use anything more complicated than a "simple machine". It's also a sport if it involves a ball, a footrace, turns, a score, a being physical.
2. It could be important to have accepted criteria for what constitutes as a sport, if you're going to have people competing in something for some sort of prize. If people just make up things as they go, cheating could occur or someone could end up seriously hurt. It's also not very fair for someone to be able to create a very difficult "sport" and have them competing against someone who doesn't.
