    I pray pinball is never declared a sport.

    Otherwise we would have to constantly listen to this drivel:

    Quoted from puck:

    The sport proposed should in no way be harmful to any living creature.

    That's an odd definition for a Sport.

    Boxing would be ruled out, I guess.

    American Football causes brain damage (even just from watching it).

    Quoted from lowepg:

    I played a few games of Galaga waiting for a pizza to be done today. I can only assume that the pinball-athletes consider that a sport too?

    Quoted from wayout440:

    Who gets to decide what a "real" sport is?

    It's a real sport as soon as Bowen can say something like this, and people find great insight in it:

    " Ah... well, you know, you go out there and you give a 110%, and you wanna play good, and, you know, you hope you play good... I think I played pretty good tonight!

    You just have to play one game at a time......you have to want it more than they do...after that, the ball will drain where it may!"
