What is a sport

A sport is defined by what is exerted in the activity itself. There is a huge difference between a hobby and a sport. A sport is a game or activity that requires physical exertion. Also, a sport has to contain a competition or a goal achieved during the game. Points/goals/any means of calculation of a score has to be included in a sport as well. Otherwise, there wouldn't be much of a competition.
 A hobby is something that is done solely for fun. It does not have a lot of competitive nature, and does not require a lot of physical exertion. An example of a hobby is croquet, or fishing. They both don't contain a whole lot of movement or physical activity.
A good example of a sport is football. A team plays around an hour game while exerting great amounts of force. A team ends up winning, and it is a large competition. Therefore, a sport is an activity that involves competition, and requires physical exertion.
