    Some tennis players call the medics out for dubious looking injuries to gain an advantage - some footballers dive - some athletes take performance enhancing drugs - snooker players have been bribed -

    with golf and boxing not being considered sports is there any sport which is completely honest?

    Cage fighting, where there are few rules to break.

    It's a pastime, they even have buggies between holes. It's the sort of thing you take up when stamp collecting gets a bit too much. :)

    So, by your reasoning, football is not a sport too; more of an artform - 'players' playacting like?

    No football is a sport for tough players. One touch on the shoulder and you can drop a player. It takes three players to do the same thing in rugby, one pulling the neck, another wrapped around the legs and another gouging the eyes then they still won't go down. :)

    Women's football is the only honest sport out there and if you think otherwise you're sexist, apparently.
