Not a Sport

Well, some Texas sports guy says Figure Skating is not a sport:

Edward Egros, a weekend sports anchor and weekday sports reporter at Dallas' Fox 4, started a debate on Twitter when he responded to a tweet from another user that stated an activity which required an athlete to choose a song was not a sport, but an "art." "THANK YOU! I have the utmost respect for figure skaters, only a few people in the universe can do it and they deserve my praise. But it’s not a sport," Egros tweeted.
We've watched figure skating for 30 years. Think this isn't a sport?:


That's Brian Boitano at the Calgary games.

As DB Sweeney said in The Cutting Edge, 'It's a lot harder than hockey.'
