A hobby is not a sport

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

girl tweets this at me and then DMs me this

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@rebie_k33 and asking me questions?

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@rebie_k33 yes I do because they fit with what I'd consider a sport to be. How about you answer the questions I asked instead of ignoring...

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@rebie_k33 this is literally just someone else's opinion about if it's a sport or not. Sure it's dangerous but if it's a sport is opinion

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@rebie_k33 way of trying to prove riding is a sport so is property maintenance a sport too?

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@rebie_k33 people put time and effort into maintaining a property and buy things to do that. You used time/effort & buying things as a...

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@rebie_k33 @hannahpolk4 the definition says physical exertion AND skill, not OR skill. So you're missing one part. So how's it a sport?

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@rebie_k33 great, you think it's a sport. Doesn't mean other people have the same opinion about it.

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@batmandaaa I know a handful of people who ride and dont think its a sport. It's literally a matter of opinion. Sorry youre so upset over it

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@batmandaaa Ok, I use muscle when I'm putting sod down or moving furniture. I guess that shows athleticism & those are sports now?

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@hannahpolk4 @rebie_k33 people put time & effort into lots of things. They buy lots of stuff for those things. Does that make ita sport now?

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@hannahpolk4 @rebie_k33 by millions of people & the IOC if it doesn't fit this definition?

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@hannahpolk4 @rebie_k33 you two are literally trying to argue opinion against opinion. How do you explain chess being considered a sport...

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@kennedi_staley8 Ok, I didn't know that was about one specific person, I thought you meant that about everyone who thinks it's not a sport

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@kennedi_staley8 why do you keep telling me they take muscle? I'm not saying they don't?

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@kennedi_staley8 I just said that just because someone says something isn't a sport doesn't mean they're saying it doesn't take muscle...?

[rek 🫩 @rek_it_rebie]

1) You are really short.
2) Horseback riding isn't a sport.
3) How do you pronounce your name? https://t.co/iARInKymfC

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@batmandaaa what does how much leg you use have to do with if it's a sport or not though?

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@kennedi_staley8 saying something isn't a sport isn't always synonymous with saying it doesn't take muscle or effort

[Riding Isn't A Sport @IsRidingASport]

@PoppethThyBooty like even that definition itself exists because someone had that opinion
