My conclusion thus far to distinguish between a sport and a game is that a sport hinges on the physical abilities of the participants, whereas the physical actor in a game is irrelevant as long as the decisions are made by the same person.

If it depends on physical ability, this opens up more things than I would consider sports to be one - including darts,bar billiards, shove ha'penny etc.

We spent a whole term in my philosophy class at Poly discussing this, the conclusion was that sport is an open ended concept. It’s always a fun conversation though.
