Replying to Does anybody else think baseball is not a sport?

who else doesnt think baseball is a sport? Heres why it isnt

-alot of the players are fat and out of shape
-alot of the players dip while playing the game (no other sport is that possible- and golf/ping pong arent sports so you cant use those as an example where you could)
-the game is basically hitting a ball (i'll get to that later), running (quite slowly i might add) about 90 feet, catching balls and throwing balls
-half the time somebody gets up to bat they get struck out and sit down untill next inning (real athletic huh?)
-baseball requires the least oxygen absorbtion in your lungs out of any other sport


now i know that hitting a fastball is supposed to be "the hardest thing in sports" or some shit, but you dont need to be athletic to do that so i dont really count it. i know its hard to do, i cant do it, but that doesnt make it a sport.

anyways, i dont think its a sport because, although it requires skill and talent, you dont have to be athletic at all to play (same goes for golf/ping pong)
