[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if a runner is out running they are playing a team sport? Its just when its in a race that they need others around (or a meet), or else it isn't a team sport? That seems inane. [/quote]

If a runner is out running the neighborhood by himself he is exercising.  If the runner is actually running in a track meet, he is running on a team.

How is this even hard to understand?  Really...it is not that complicated.[/quote]

So if he is running in a race, lets say a 5K, is he running or not running?

This is silly! [/quote]

If he is running a 5K as an individual competitor he is running but he is not competing in a team sport.

If he is running in a 5K as part of track team meet then he is running on team.

It really is not that hard.[/quote]

Its pretty hard. I mean, you say "is baseball a team sport?" and every human says YES. You have just broken running into exercise, competition, and team sport. You've distinguished when one is doing one vs the other, even when doing the exact same thing (running). So, its a little harder than it has to be, don't you think?

How about we just say to questions like, is swimming a team sport or is cheerleading a sport.......

SURE! Whatever you want. [/quote]
