"Cross country is totally NOT a sport." You wanna run 8 miles and say that again? Amirite?

Not to take sides, but difficulty alone doesn't make something a sport.

Who in the hell wants to run 8 miles? I'm all for working out but that's just ridiculous.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

+1 It would bore me immensely. I'd rather run while playing soccer, tennis, basketball or something =P

8 miles isn't that bad. Look at a marathon more than 3 times that length. Triathlons are where it is truly insane.

I can run, and I know it's not horrible. It's just who would want to do it? Haha

That's not a good arguement supporting it. It's hard, we get it

(HopeImrite):As a cross country runner myself, 8 miles is kind of easy... it's all about the pace. You see, our competitions are races... whoever can run 3.1 miles FASTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE. Isn't baseball, basketball, and football basically who can score more runs/points than anybody else?

There you go, that's a much better arguement then the OP. It's still the worst sport to watch but it's still easily a sport

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i think its cool to watch.

Nebraska's 2010 girls state champion for class C is from my school. She ran a 3.1 mile race in 14:57. She's pretty awesome.

Running is a sport. If people consider curling a sport, running sure as hell counts as a sport. And racewalking. I'm a damn proud racewalker, and people say it's easy. NO. It hurts a lot.

"Swimming is NOT a sport." You wanna swim 5,000 yards within two hours or less-which is much harder than running through air-and say that again? amirite?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

As long as you are racing against other people, then it's a sport. It has to be competitive, or else it's just running.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Running/Racing is probably the oldest sport known to man.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Cross Country is sport trust me!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Running is defintely a sport. It's actually harder than other sports because there's no one else to rely on, just you try to get a faster time and beat people.
