i didnt say it wasnt a sport. im saying that you dont have to athletic to play. which i one reason i think he shouldnt be athlete of the year. seriously, what sport gets canceled for rain, or high winds, that you can pick and choose where you do and dont want to play, and you can decide when you want to play? none that i know of. not like dan marino could have said, "naw ill pass on this game, brett favre is a great quarterback, plus its too fuckin cold in green bay." or what about cal ripken? its obvious he never missed a game. but any golfer can say, im not gonna play the us open, that course is tough!
now it is very skilled, but so is surgery or machining titanium, they arent athletes.
