A sport is a game but a game is not a sport. The difference that I make is
that a sport involves some sort of physical contact or physical exertion,
while a game does not require such things to compete.

I go through this every year with my students and we have pretty much
narrowed the dividing characteristics down to these things. But every year
someone comes up with some new and interesting divisions between what is a
sport and what is a game.
