The biggest fu is chess being mentioned on a sports podcast. I love chess, but a sport it ain't.

It’s recognised as a sport in a lot of countries.

I'm recognised as being good at my job, but that doesn't make it true 😬

Just depends on your definition of sport. Do you have the same problem with people being called a "bad sport" some people use sport as "game or competition. Just as in the previous mentioned phrase you could say "you have a bad attitude when you lose". To be clear I am not saying it is or isn't, just noting why this argument always creeps up with less physical competition. I prefer keeping words defined clearly and believe sport should mean competition with physical prowess involved.

As do I. Chess doesn't fit that definition.

But this whole thing is being way overthought!
