    RE: read somewhere that...

    I'll check that out about Volleyball, although I'd be very surprised if it beat Footie. Fishing or angling is the most participated sport in the UK - that's a fact, not sure about the world mind.

    I know that under the true, original, definition it is a sport (in that there really are only 3 sports), but it's really just a pastime, and a tedious one at that.

    No, its a sport.
    One that Englands world no1 in.
    A sport that will soon be on the national cirriculum.
