if you have B without A, you have something like chess or competitive starcraft. I'd call these something- competitive games maybe- but not sports

the lines do get blurry, though. maybe chess and starcraft are a sub-category of sports that subtracts the athleticism portion

I mean to me athleticism is a weird line to tread.

Chess at a high level can be exhausting. Keeping focused that long is something that needs training.

Like okay yes Chess requires less athleticism than say soccer, but I'd argue so does baseball. Obviously baseball still requires enough, but where is the line drawn. I feel like auto racing requires much less still, but most people would still call that a sport.
