curling is certainly a sport. more controversial are chess, bridge, go, etc. until that ruling from the olympics committee a few years ago, mind games had strong lobbying to be considered an olympic event.
games are, from merriam webster: "activity engaged in for diversion or amusement"
which is pretty broad. basically, all non-work activities. dating, cooking, going out, etc.
one's pain might be one's gain. i enjoy doing math and programming for fun. for me it's a game. for 99% of the population those would certainly be homework, if they even do those for homework. one's work could be a game, but that wouldn't be a diversion from your daily routine.
i find playing Zelda: TP absolutely painful. it's long, it's windy, there's so much repetitive actions to me it's not anyway close to being a game. but hey, it's one of the best games around, i know that and fully acknowledge that. you have no idea how grateful i am to see the age of brain ages, i've been waiting 15 years for this golden age.
the Wii is an epidemic.
