What is your rebuttal when somebody says sailing is not a sport?

Question

NOTE: I am not making this point. I just see it about once a week in the Olympic category. Somebody tries to say not much skill or athletecism involved.

Make your counter point.

Answer 1

to "get a grip!"

Answer 2

ask them if they have ever been sailing? specifically racing?  if they say no, then ignorance is bliss.  They can also watch sailing on ESPN at times as well as the VS channel.

Lots of skill involved and lots of phycial strenghth too!
