I think any competitive game becomes a sport when a certain amount of people play it.

And with over 38,000 players playing at inter-county level and over 54 countries compete for entry into the Embassy World Masters, you have your big-time numbers.

The person that doesn't play the game doesn't think it is a sport. But I don't think golf is a sport, so it's up to the individual.

But who has the right to say what is and what isn't a sport?

There is always this chat about darts players not being athletes. Alright, so we're not exactly at our physical best, but that doesn't mean we're not fit.

It requires mental and physical strength to become a top-class darts player.

I would defy anyone to throw for 10 hours and not ache afterwards.

All the sport's detractors would be surprised by how much it hurts.
