I then decided to see what it had to say about sport in general. Best of luck with this:

Sport

QuoteThe  Sport is a term defining a great number of exercises, physics even intellectual of leisure. The sports are exerted in the form of individual or collective plays being able to give place to competitions.

The sport is a quasi universal phenomenon in time and space. The ancient Greece, the ancient Rome, Byzance, the medieval Occident then modern, but also the America précolombienne or the Asia, all are marked by the importance of the sport. Certain periods are especially marked by interdicts, as it is the case in Great Britain Moyen-âge with the modern Time.

What the sport?
The term of " Sport" for root the word of Vieux French desport has which means "entertainment, physical pleasure or of the spirit". While crossing the Handle, desport is moulted in sport and evacuates of its field the general concept of leisures to concentrate on the only physical-activities. The German language admits the sport term and its English definition in 1831; France makes use for the first time of it as of 1828. Thus, since then, the sport does not include any more the various board games or plays of the spirit which made the joy of a Gargantua. The multiplication of the sports, which does not go back to yesterday, poses problem with some.

Is it thus necessary to admit the contests of Chien S of shepherd like a sport? Vast problem for much, debate of rear-guard for others which group the sports in three main categories: the Olympic sports , not-Olympic sports having vocation to become Olympic, and the other sports says minor, of which the contest of sheepdogs. This last category appears heterogeneous, but the gasoline even sporting movement is not located there. Some then put the importance on the existence of competitions, but it is a false debate, because the sport of leisures remains sport.
