Kindly explain how he is supposed to be an athlete?

Why is Golf a sport and darts not?

STFU would you! There are loads of new players coming into the sport and very few of them are overweight. You obviously dont watch the sport and have no idea what you are on about. True you dont have to be in great shape to play darts but neither do you have to be to play lots of other sports. A sport is not defined as you having to run around a pitch all day. Darts is physical you just dont have to be fit to play it. Same as Snooker and Golf among others. Fitness certainly helps though.

Mods move this to the darts forum so this guy can be torn to pieces please.

Maybe so. But you are, however, are a moron.
Who are you to say what is a sport?
Why does it matter enough to you to create a thread about it?

Not good examples. They're not sports, either.

Sport is "an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively."
What here conflicts with darts?

Why not? I think the people who play snooker and golf certainly won't agree with you.

Tone it down in this forum and no I'm not going to move threads to a forum you mod so you can "tear someone apart".

Don't insult people on this forum. I don't like having to ban people.

Thread closed before people get themselves banned or someone gets a dart in the eye or something.
