Document Summary
Key concepts: necessary and sufficient conditions for sport, gross physical skills, competition. Institutional condition: definitions, play, games, recreation, physical education, moral and social issues. Best understood philosophically w example: bachelor : criteria = unmarried male -these are necessary but are not necessarily sufficient, would also have to specify an age condition -i. e. don"t refer to a baby boy as a bachelor. Many necessary and sufficient conditions proposed for sport -which will be tested against intuitions concerning potential sport activities. Conditions for sport": physical skill -the activity should be physical in nature. Physical refers to a focus on the movement of the human body. Osterhoudt (1977): sports rules embody an emphases on physical which makes the way movements are performed highly significant. In bowling, player"s skill dictates where the ball will hit the pins -under the condition of physical skill, bowling, not chess, should be considered a sport. Loy"s above definition includes competition conquering an opposing object of nature .
