Yup, lots of it. It’s just a different kind of athleticism. It’s far from traditional as we often define it, but it still can be defined as athletic.

Same with Bass fishing...

OK, Now I’m kidding ;)

No, not really! Bass fishing requires physical prowess as well. I confess, not as much as other sports, but physical prowess nonetheless. But really, if we're not ready to accept bass fishing as a form of athleticism, we need to ask ourselves why, and seek to find some standard by which we can say that one kind or degree of physical activity is athletic and another kind or degree is not.
