r/Sportly

Me and a buddy were talking, and we were trying to determine what defines a sport. We narrowed it down to 4 criteria, or The 4 Pillars of Sports. Please let me know if you can think of any exceptions

1. ⁠it has to be a Game. There has to be rules and criteria for a winner and loser

2. ⁠there has to be an organizing body. There has to be a judge to defer to in disputed outcomes

3. ⁠Cannot be pure luck. Skill must be involved, ie, you cannot make a sport of picking a number behind someone’s back

4. physical activity is involved, and you must be the one to perform such physical activity. Competitive chess is not a sport, because I could have a stand in for who moves my chess pieces. Poker is not a sport, because I could have a stand in for who plays my cards.

Thanks for taking the time to read

Over the past few weeks, I've tried several IPTV services and realized that having thousands of channels isn't everything. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup currently taking place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, streaming stability and video quality have become more important than ever. The last thing any football fan wants is buffering or interruptions during a match.

Having access to a free trial before subscribing made a big difference because it helped me find a service that actually matched my viewing habits.

What matters most to you when choosing an IPTV service? Streaming quality, sports coverage, or something else?

Hey ya'll, I've been a Manchester United fan since I was 11, and always wanted to create a fun footy game. A couple days ago, I created Goalosopher, a daily guess the mystery footballer game. It's basically like a reverse akinator, where Goalosopher chooses a random player each day, and it's your job to guess the player using 11 yes/no questions! Feel free to try it out, and feedback is always welcome!

Cheers to moderator @fireproofpoo for allowing me to shout my game out in this space!
