For that matter if you are in great shape and can drive a car really fast, it still doesn't make you an athlete. For those in Grand Rapids, if I drove really fast up US 131 turned left onto I-196 West, turned left onto M6 East then turned left again to get back onto US 131 and kept doing that at high rates of speed (barring a ticket) would it make me an athlete....no, it wouldn't.
Bowling, Pool/Billiards, Golf and Poker, not sports. If you can drink beer while playing them, it's a hobby not a sport.
To me motor-sports is in it's own category. While it does take,strength and endurance you also have a gasoline powered engine.
Now, beer drinking is the king of sports...or something like that. ;D
