	I'm testing out an idea here that the wrong answer functionality can be used to create yes/no style opinion polls. Not really useful as "quizzes" but could be interesting discussion starters.

	FarmerBob:	May 9th, 2011 at 04:05 GMT	29 points
	it works pretty well, but the problem is if you don't think certain activities are sports, on the reuslts page, you don't know which ones are which

	chriskotx:	May 9th, 2011 at 04:14 GMT	-2 points
	Anything done for fun, competition or recreation can be rightly labeled a sport. The question ought to be: "is it an athletic event?"

	teh_DR:	May 9th, 2011 at 04:15 GMT	13 points
	I think this quiz has the potential for "Most Commented Last 7 Days" category

	sabresfan:	May 9th, 2011 at 04:36 GMT	3 points
	Definitely a good idea, but the results page issue means to see what the results are you basically have to answer yes for all of them, which would skew upwards the %ages.

	Bottom line is if you played it, most likely you consider it a sport.

	jonesjeffum:	May 9th, 2011 at 05:35 GMT	21 points
	not necessarily... I play chess but it is definitely not a sport

	the velocirapper, i'm not sure whether or not i think that golf is a sport, but if you are saying that a sport is something a fat dude can't play, then baseball, basketball, and american football are definitely all not sports? there have been many fat guys who have not only played, but dominated those sports.

	Huh...didn't realize that wrong answers show up as ? on the results page. That seems odd. I can't even check the results from my game creation page, it shows them all as ?. Well that kind of ruins this whole idea

	I'll admit that competitive cheerleading is a sport; but your run of the mill cheerleading squad-no.

	sbshuffler85:	May 10th, 2011 at 01:34 GMT	2 points
	I think you got something wrong, it told me chess and card games were sports.

	richie_geo:	May 10th, 2011 at 04:49 GMT	0 points
	Holy cow!!

	drj9879:	May 10th, 2011 at 06:32 GMT	-1 points
	Talk about a pointless quiz. There is a reason tests and quizzes in all aspects of life are not opinion based. If it can't be proven true or false, it shouldn't be made into a quiz.

	richie_geo:	May 10th, 2011 at 11:58 GMT	1 point
	I agree!

	dzel:	May 10th, 2011 at 13:53 GMT	2 points
	Sorry, not great as a quiz but it has led to some lively debates in our family over the years!

	thevelocirapper:	May 10th, 2011 at 17:25 GMT	1 point
	@swills: The key distinguishing factor between John Daly and the countless large men who have flourished in basketball, baseball and most notably football is that those guys (for the most part) would be better characterized as "big" meaning they have plenty of fat, but so much more muscle. When you really look at golf it boils down to three things: Walking, Swinging a one pound metal rod, and a considerable amount of mental strain. So if golf is a sport, then you should consider either walking the dog, Wii golf or doing the taxes a sport.

	I would change cheerleading to competitive cheer and dance to differentiate.

	tazer:	May 16th, 2011 at 02:32 GMT	1 point
	I understand that everyone has different opinions so im not expecting answers to have 100% "yes it is a sport", but i honestly thought that texas hold em would have 0%. how is playing cards a sport? ive been playing cards everyday at school since grade 7, and if its the gambling part, does that mean craps is a sport? i think you do more activity rolling the dice then throwing your chips into the pile

	@robertfoiz obviously you suck at sports @jweller24 the point is that they aren't all sports, idiot

	I may be making a fool of myself here, but what's the difference between figure skating and ice dancing? Is one with a partner and one without?

	AmazinKazin:	May 30th, 2011 at 16:17 GMT	-4 points
	that was the stupidest ****in thing ever.
