The origin of this term may date to the 1950s in the appearance of a phrase usually, but wrongly, attributed to Ernest Hemingway. The phrase is, "There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games." The implication of the phrase was that the word 'sport' defined an activity in which one might be killed. The other activities being termed 'games'. However it is believed that the phrase/term may have been invented by either writer Barnaby Conrad or automotive author Ken Purdy. What phrase or term?
