I'm with springcaller. According to Webster it is a sport, not a competition. Apparently some people's concept of "Sport" has been so twisted that they don't recognize the distinction. Rock climbing is a sport. There's no competition;unless you consider man vs. gravity. It's one man doing what he enjoys. Same with hunting, there's no competition unless your ego is so fragile you have to "one-up" every other hunter out there, in which case you have bigger issues than defining the word "sport".
