  1. sport

    Entertainment and recreation imply thought and mental occupation, tho in an agreeable, refreshing way; they are therefore words of a high order. Entertainment, apart from its special senses of a public performance or a social party, and predominantly even there, is used of somewhat mirthful mental delight; recreation may, and usually does, combine the mental with the physical. Amusement and pastime are nearly equivalent, the latter probably the lighter word; many slight things may be pastimes which we should hardly dignify by the name of amusements. Sports are almost wholly on the physical plane, tho involving a certain grade of mental action; fox-hunting, horse-racing, and baseball are sports. Certain sports may afford entertainment or recreation to certain persons, according to their individual tastes; but entertainment and recreation are capable of a meaning so high as never to be approached by any meaning of sport. Cheer may be very quiet, as the cheer of a bright fire to an aged traveler; merriment is with liveliness and laughter; fun and frolic are apt to be boisterous. Amusement is a form of enjoyment, but enjoyment may be too keen to be called amusement. Compare synonyms for ENTERTAIN.

How to use Sport in a sentence?

  1. Keith Blase:

    Athletes that participate in our sport are just as tough and committed to the physicality of it as they are on the able-bodied side, there’s certainly a lot of mutual respect because many of these athletes look at each other and share the common bond of having that impairment, but it won’t stop somebody going in the corner with somebody and being physical.

  2. Ashley Theophane:

    Sport stars lose, boxers lose, the best teams lose ; it's normal to lose in sports... but because of the Floyd Mayweather era a defeat is seen as a much bigger thing, and that's the good side of Floyd Mayweather Jr. too, because I lost my first fight under Floyd Mayweather Jr. but Floyd Mayweather Jr. said,' Don't worry, we'll get you back there.'.

  3. Kayvon Thibodeaux:

    What people don’t realize is that football is an American sport, so, no matter how great Alabama is, you only play football in America, Canada and a couple other places. But a brand like Nike, I mean, for me it was like what brand associations do I want to be tied to?

  4. El Welily:

    With the prize money of the women's being so high, even higher than the men's world champs this year, it is great for our sport to actually have the women appreciated, as a player, I feel very lucky to be part of such a strong era in squash history.

  5. Robbie Knievel:

    I’m very proud of the fact that my dad pretty much created his own entertainment, sport, whatever you want to call it.
