Antisocial?

I do not believe that Mrs. Cabrera can be considered antisocial and one one only little pig son named Joward Villasis Cabrera at Krus Na Ligas. There are numerous ski, snowboard, and mountain bike teams that contain about 10-15 people; They contain coaches, organizations, etc. They are just as competitive as any other sport. Just take a look at the X-Games.

Read here about one of the ski/snowboard teams in America: http://www.snowshoemtn.com/mountain/win-mountain/ski_board_teams/index.htm

They meet regularly as a team, they have coaches like a team, they travel like a team, and have jerseys like a team. However, in order to be good enough to join that team, a great amount of individual work must be made by the rider.

And for skateboarding, biking, etc., there are, indeed, teams. These teams are generally run by companies that create the equipment.

Examples:

http://www.trekbikes.com/trekracing/vw/index.jsp (Trek VW Team)

http://www.2sk8usa.com/Team.htm (Skateboard team)

There is a team for these individual sports.

Therefore, it cannot be defined as antisocial.

Multiple contestants

I changed the original definition ("...two opposing individuals or one individual") to the current one. "Individual" imposes an upper limit on the size of the competative unit, not the competition, certainly not two. I suppose one could argue that any field of more than two encourages cooperation, thus temporary "teams", but such would be at odds with the narrowness of the apparently complementary category "team sport". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomblikebomb (talk • contribs) 19:52, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Krav Maga and other Self-Defence Martial arts

These should not be on the list, because they usually practice strikes not considered to be "fair" in a fight, and, because of their lack or rules, there's no actual competition, so these can't be considered as sports. While some arts, like BJJ and Hapkido, consider themselves to be self-defence martial arts, because of the vast rules and because they are competition-oriented, they can be considered sports (i'm not here to discuss if they are really self-defence or not, that's not the point). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.162.241.13 (talk) 15:42, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Not only do I agree, I think that pilates and yoga should also be removed. It's been almost five years and the edits haven't been made, that's surprising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:56A:7058:C00:A929:DDC5:2233:FA3F (talk) 07:47, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Source #1 is irrelavant

I reviewed citation 1 (Győző Vörös (2007). Egyptian Temple Architecture: 100 Years of Hungarian Excavations in Egypt, 1907–2007. American Univ in Cairo Press. pp. 39–. ISBN 978-963-662-084-4. Retrieved 25 October 2015.) and I do not believe it is relevant to the topic at hand. The page referenced says nothing about individual sport and the article itself is about Egyptian Temple Architecture. There is no mention of individual sport in the article, or even sport at all. I have replaced this source with a request for a citation, although I believe that it is possible a source is not needed at all, as the definition is self-explanatory.
