Уверен? :sarcasm:
Dick: Can you tell me the difference between sports and games? I never know which is which.
Nick: What’s the difficulty?
Dick: Well, volleyball and football are games, aren’t they? Rowing and swimming aren’t games, are they? And then running and jumping, skating and skiing – what are they?
Nick: Certainly they are all sports. You see, sport is a more general world,
And we may say that a game is a kind of sport in which there are two sides or teams. Do you know what they say about football?
Dick: No.
Nick: Football is a game in which one side of the stadium wants to see eleven men killed, and the other side of the stadium wants to see the other eleven men killed.
Dick: But why eleven?
Nick: Oh, it’s because there are eleven players in a football team. Then there’s another thing. Most outdoor games are played with a ball.
See?
Dick: Yes. But what about running and jumping? I am told that they are track-and-field events or athletics. Is that right?
Nick: Yes, that’s right.
Dick: Now I see the difference. Thanks.
