If you can get an ACL, then it qualifies. Look, round ball/round bat, COMPLETELY not knowing WHERE that round ball is going to be when you hit it (it could be in your gut breaking a rib or two). With a golf ball, the damn thing is not even moving. I think I may agree that is indeed a sport. If you can get an ACL, then it qualifies.

Tiger's Open victory was impressive, inspiring, remarkable, and all that. One thing it was NOT was "heroic." He risked nothing more than slight aggravation to an already injured leg. His life was never in danger. His financial future was never in danger. The term "heroic" should be reserved for people who do heroic things. And golf IS a sport because you strike an object and it demands physical ability. Chess is a game. (BTW, hitting a golf ball is harder than hitting a baseball, but I don't need to revisit that argument with you again after all these years. ) Well said, author.

It is the shear insaneness of the comparisons made by the many talking heads covering that I speak of. It was not to denigrate but I can see how that came across. Good point...kevin @Dina,

Certainly, the men and women who serve our country are heroes to their families and the nation. But praising them doesn't mean you have to denigrate or demean other types of heroes. It's not a comparison. Gandhi fought injustice without violence. Would you say that he doesn't deserve to be called a hero? There are all types of heroes.
