a sport is an organized, competitive, entertaining, and skillful activity requiring commitment, strategy, and fair play, in which a winner can be defined by objective means. physical events such as scoring goals or crossing a line first often define the result of a sport. in short, sport is a by-product of competition. now i'm no expert, but it seems to me that the hunted you describe, have no idea they are involved in a contest therefore, i have to ask; where is the "sport" in that?

"a fair sport for them and us."
