I guess that I was a little harsh in what I said there. Often times when it is played in a back yard during a BBQ or other event, it is played not as a sport but as recreation.
In the same way, people who go out and golf only once or twice a year play the game as recreation not as a competitive sport.
And before anyone replies to this, I will clarify what I mean by sport. For me to classify something as a sport, or to play a sport, there has to be the will to improve and to practice. If you just go out to have fun, there is nothing wrong with that, but if you were to ask me, I wouldn't say that they were playing a sport.
And usa1950, he wasn't disputing that soccer isn't the #1 sport in the world, he was just using it as comparison. You said that Badminton was a joke of a sport because it was played at BBQ's and holiday gatherings, well so is soccer
