Cross Country is not a sport, it's just running which is just exercise, amirite?

Think of it this way: my sport is your sport's punishment!

If CC is not a sport, than all other sports are just games.

Um duh... cc isn't a game... that's what doesn't make it a sport... anybody can run... that doesn't make it a sport! XC is down there with chess.. it's not a sport!

I've worked out with like every sports team at my school at some point in time, and the cross country team is the one I try to stay furthest away from. They run at least 7 miles every day before school. Then have a crazy practice 7th hour. Those guys are damn good runners, with incredible times. Besides, they're all runners in track too, which is also a sport.

If you think about it like that....Soccer is just kicking a ball into a net, football is taking a ball and running it to another end of the field and wrestling is just too men humping. I play all 3 and I could tell you some of the workouts for cross country are killer for me. Running 20 miles for practice....i'd start crying.

It's a bullshit sport, why is it even in the olympics? Same category as eating contests.

XC is the only sport where you're constantly putting effort into something rather than timeouts, waterbreaks, halftime...

Some people are being such bad sports D:

A sport is something, team or individual, that is unbiased in scoring/ placement, which requires physical skill. When it comes to sports, you don't have to look good to be good. By that definition, football, soccer, tennis, biking, swimming, cross country, etc. are all sports. Car racing is not a sport because the person is not doing the work, the car is. Same with horse riding, because the person isn't doing much either, and parts of it are scored based on how pretty you look. Therefore, dancing and cheerleading are not sports either. All of these example require practice and skills, but that does not necessarily make them sports.

I strongly disagree because I run cross country. i did not start off wanting to though. I wanted to do volleyball but I got cut. That's the thing about cross country. You don't get cut just because you're not a fast runner. It is not running 3 miles non stop. Everyone that says that it is not a sport should go for a 3 mile run nonstop. Try and do it in less than 25 minutes. The fastes girl on my cross country team has a time of 20 minutes something. So say again that my sport is not a sport. It makes me mad when my sport is disrespected. Its all about the mental will power to run that distance and push farther than what your body is willing to do.
