so i was walkin and thinkin today about how people dont call freestyle skiing a real sport.. and i say bullshit... they say football is a real sport and yes that is true it is... but once you get past highschool the average human does not play college or pro.. but the average person has the option of skiing or snowboarding whenever they want. Meanin skiing is foreveryone. Dont get me wronge i love watching football but i would rather go skiing.. bye

unless you're skiing at a competitive level, its more of a hobbie/interest than a sport

hob·by
n. pl. hob·bies
Any of several small falcons of the genus Falco, formerly used for catching small birds or game.
OR of course:
hob·by
n. pl. hob·bies
An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure.
that pretty much fits the definition for why i ski
(i somehow managed to mispell hobby in my previous post..)

sport
1
1. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
2. A particular form of this activity.
2 An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
3 An active pastime; recreation.
#3 is where hobby and sport become kind of the same thing, but im sticking to my first statement after grabbing these definitions
