Is sitting a sport? If it is done on a pole does it make it a sport? If sitting is a sport then I the most active mofo in the world. I sit all day! Agreed, there are just some activities that are considered sports when in reality it does not make any sense.

Actually sport is senseless. It's always just a competition to find out who is the best within some rules. If you want really senseless sport, have a look at this:

Since it does take place in Poland, it can just hope that "Pole-Sitting" isn't referring to the people

Because we thought it was "football" and taken by surprise when we got there and found out it was actually "kickball", a game us Yanks played in elementary school. So it's a bit of nostalgia for us, brings back childhood memories of games we played without risk of injury, like most girls sports.

And it gives us an opportunity to interface with the brits and ask them long unanswered questions.

I think we can all agree that dancing is a sport.....so if it's done on a pole, does that constitute pole dancing as a sport?
