Is a sport when it's competitive
Darts is competitive, so you have now changed your mind and now thing darts is a sport then?

We aren't comparing the athleticism and skill of skiing to darts I'm sure

I merely mentioned competitive as people do it for a hobby as well

You've missed the point
Competitively it's a highly skilled, athletic event which is a sport.
Socially it's still skilled but lacks the element that makes it sport.
Darts is a pub game played by alcoholics.

Got 5 pages from it
Giant Haystacks is a sporting icon. I bet you used to love him.
An icon but not sporting

He was a sporting entertainer/ pantomime villain. A bit like Ted.

Wrestling back then was shown on ‘World of SPORT’ even the stuff from America is shown on sporting channels. They don’t put it on the comedy channel.

I'm well aware of all that but anything scripted isn't sport

For the record i think scripted wrestling is complete and utter horse shit but rightly or wrongly it is still technically classed as a sport. For me watching the likes of Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy is akin to watching a pantomime.

Anythings official classification in the bonkers world of today is largely irrelevant as its almost certainly wrong.

Does it really matter what you call something.

Randall wins the poll. Darts is not a sport.

Of course it isn't
