With those, can a person who is athletic have an edge? Absolutely! But there is no real athletic training required to be a participant. I have nothing against games. I play pool (9-ball and straight pool) and used to be on the state champion dart team. But I can't maintain that they are sports when I could be drinking a Guiness while participating. You can witness people who are not athletes participate in these games on a given day.
