Andriesen never takes a side on the issue of defining a sport other than that sports can be argued many ways and the only thing that will be agreed upon is that people will never agree. Andriesen point of the article is to get the reader thinking about whether or not there truly is a definition to sports. I do agree with Andriesens last point where he claims that as long as people are having fun playing than it truly does not matter if it is classified as a sport. The only circumstance I can think of on whether or not something was a sport or not would be if it was being questioned with if it should receive funding from a school. If a school claims something is not a sport and therefore should not recieve funding yet other institutions claim it is a sport then that could cause a debate and therefore would need certain guidelines. In the end it is not important whether things are sports or not as long as people are enjoying them and having fun than that is what "sports" were intended to do.
