Whenever the Olympics come up,
people complain that some events shouldn’t be included because they are games,
not sports.
It’s called the ‘Olympic Games’, not
the ‘Olympic Sports’.
Thus all the sports at the Olympic
are also, by necessity, games.
This means that the categories of
‘sports’ and ‘games’ are not mutually exclusive.
For this reason, calling something a
‘game’ cannot be used as evidence that the event isn’t a sport which makes the
whole ‘it’s a game, not a sport’ devoid of meaning.
