What makes cup stacking a sport is the ability to do something. In other words using other academics to compete or play a sport.
I agree with you McKinley
i dont
I disagree. It can only be a sport if it involves skill and practice, not pure chance or talent.
i disagree
i agree
I disagree because they do practice and they have the skill to good at it
NO! Anything can be a sport
But jkim24 it dose involves skill and practice.
James, I disagree it DOES require skill and practice
i agree
The media says it’s a sport and the media and internet decides everything.
Do you really think the media decides everything? I disagree.
I agree, McKinley
Anything can be a sport as long as a lot of people do it and it involves skill and practice, instead of talent.
I disagree. Someone can do something without a team, like dancing, singing or gymnastics
I agree with you James
Cup stacking can be competitive?
No it cant ;C
Ya it is competitve but you have to train to get to that level.
It is competitive and has lot’ focus like other sports
I agree
I agree. Cup stacking seems to require a lot of concentration.
i agree
I think that this should be a sport because they can inspire and learn from them. Also, this can help your learning in schools. This should be a sport because anyone can do it. This is why I think that this should be a sport.
I don’t agree with you at all
Just because anybody can do it doesn’t mean its a sport….
Anything can be a sport
not everything
Cup stacking is a sport because you are doing something and are competing with others to win.
I agree
I think that this should be a sport because they can inspire and learn from them. Also, this can help your learning in schools. This should be a sport because anyone can do it. This is why I think that staking should be a sport.
I think cup stacking shouldn’t be a sport even though it is competitive it shouldn’t be a sport. It is like saying a board game like risk is a sport because it is competitive.
Cup stacking is DEFINITELY NOT A SPORT!! YOU STAND BEHIND A TABLE!? The fact that Jordan quit football and all her other sports is CRAZY!! Don’t we want kids to be ACTIVE!
I disagree. In cup stacking, you have to have lots of focus, and you have to rapidly use your hands to stack thick, slippery cps quicker than all your competiters
You sound so certain Max! How would you define “sport”? What is it about baseball or tennis that make them sports? What do they have that cup stacking does not?
A sport should be active and you more other body parts besides your hands. And you can’t play SITTING ON A CHAIR!?
yes we do want to have kids active but they don’t have to do it with sports
I think cup stacking is a sport because it requires skill and focuse like a lot of other sports.
I agree
Me too.Even though you don’t have to run, you have to rapidly move your hands in very quick time periods, and you have to rely on your brain and your hands
I think that this is not a real sport because you stand behind a table and pick up cups wich you do at dinner
I disagree it IS a sport. It requires skill and focus
Do you rapidly stack cups at dinner? No, you put them in the sink, or the dishwasher. Do you have to stack them in a certain order? No, you take your one cup, and put it on the counter.
What makes cup stacking a sport is it’s active and competitive 🙂
I agree with you. 😉
Stacking might not be a something you think of when you think about sports,but nether is skiing or swimming. Chess is a sport so why isn’t stacking a sport? If people think it’s a sport, then it is.
It is a sport because it requires the ability to do something and it requires a lot of focus
i think it is a sport, because helps you with writing and typing, because your hands mpve faster and faster.
But Izzy that’s not the only thing that makes it
a sport, It’ s also about concentration and training.
what makes cup stacking a sport is the focus and all the movement you have to train to get better you
can’t just say you want to be a cup stacker and then be as good as the people you see on YouTube you have to work hard to get there.
i agree
I agree
Sport-An activity involving physical and mental strength,and skill to compete with yourself or a team, for fun,entertainment, or to be better fit.
I agree, cup stacking is physical and competitive so i think it is a sport ;p
I agree but it is not only a sport because you compete but also because it is strategic and that makes it more of a sport
I agree Yelena
I don’t think cup stacking is a sport because its not intensive and its just stacking cups or moving you’re hands hands.
what makes it a sport is that it is a physical and competitive activity so that makes it a sport 🙂
I agree
It is a sport because you move your hands and you can compete against other people in compositions
it is a sport because you need to practice and have skill to do this
Nick 🙂
I agree
i think it is a sport because your competing against other kids to win
It is a sport because you are moving around and you can compete and usually when you compete, it is a sport. There is a strategy to it so it is more of a sport. People consider chess a sport and it is very strategic. Cup stacking is strategic because you have to think ahead and plan your moves like in chess.
Cup Stacking is a sport because like most sports it is competitive, there are competitions, people try to get an award like a trophy or a medal, and like all sports, competitors need to focus and use their skills and use strategies. Just because it isn’t the most popular sport doesn’t mean it isn’t a sport. Its just as much as a sport as football, basketball, or hockey.
its a sport beacause its competive and it needs a skill
Stacking cups is not competitive. 😛
Most people who think it isn’t a play poulpar sport they say they ”know the sport” but they don’t know
Why are you assuming that we don’t know what a sport is!
