Bridge: Judicial review of decision that card game is not a sport
It should be Physical 'AND' Mental skill, not physical 'OR' mental skill.
It is not a good idea to mess with the brain in this way, by changing definitions. The brain has a happy place, by checking that energy levels are all similar for similar subjects. If you mess with the word 'Game', and change it to the word 'Sport' you change energy levels throughout the brain to match. That would mean that other circumstances are altered. Because nature is a fractal with scale that associates levels of depth to structure it is a good idea to try to match thoughts to physical reality, so that you can think about reality without having thoughts that completely miss their target.
If Bridge becomes a sport, I shall have to ignore it as a sport to keep my brain in balance, the same that I ignore pull forces, because they don't exist, and the same as I pronounce.. Gif as Gif, and not as Jif.

Bridge: Judicial review of decision that card game is not a sport
The EBU says it has the definition of sport in the 2011 Charities Act on its side - activities "which promote health involving physical or mental skill or exertion" - as well as the International Olympic Committee, which said in 1999 that bridge and chess should be considered "mind sports".
