Sport

Sport

Sport (engl.), 1) Spiel, Luft, Scherz, Belustigung, ländliches Vergnügen; bes. 2) alle Vergnügungen, welche körperliche Gewandtheit u. Kraft, sowie persönlichen Muth erfordern, als Wettrennen zu Roß (Reitsport), Jagd etc. Bei der Vorliebe der Engländer für dergleichen Vergnügungen ist das Sportwesen namentlich in England unter allen Klassen der Gesellschaft am meisten ausgebildet u. zu einer Art Kunst u. Wissenschaft entwickelt, deren Kenntniß dem vollendeten Gentleman unentbehrlich ist. Der S. hat daher auch eine eigne Literatur hervorgerufen; unter den demselben gewidmeten Zeitschriften ist das Sporting Magazine das bedeutendste.
