Which sports shouldn't be classified as sports?

I've got to go with anything that involves subjective scoring like gymnastics, diving, skiing aerials.

What unsports are incorrectly labeled as sports in your opinion and why?

Update:

Cheerleading definitely should not be a sport because there is subjective scoring.

I disagree with people who say golf isn't a sport, what is the goal of football? To get a ball in a scoring zone, the goal of baseball is to hit a ball with a much larger "club" but baseballers can crack it over the park and score, golfers have to get it in a tiny hole sometimes as much as 600 yards away.

    There is a difference between games and sports. Poker and all of the card games shouldn't be sports because where is the physical activity, or the competition? Its all luck by what cards you get delt! I think cards should not be a sport, even though they show it on TV and on ESPN.

    Golf....It is boring as heck to watch and the whole idea of hitting a ball finding it and then hitting it again is really not a bright idea.

    Chess & poker are not sports; they are games.

    I totally disagree with the guy who said horseracing and racing cars(although I can understand his point as he mentioned NASCAR). Both require skill and athleticism.
