Anyone else gettting adverts about 'Smokey', and avoiding starting forest fires with a disgarded cigarette? During the wettest fortnight of the year?

You're misreading what he said about physical.
i dont think he meant people who are paralysed in wheelchairs can still play some sports.

Professor X could play sport without being physical and he was in a wheelchair

I always though wheelchair tennis was particularly odd. It just seems a little cruel, and the raquets must be huge.

Apart from disability people who unfortunately can not use their legs/arms to an appropriate standard in today's world. The only thing you need to do in Snooker is walk + stand up and that is natural human activity, by that I mean you automatically do that in everyday life because you don't run/swim to every place you can. You COULD but can't. You can walk to every place though.

Snooker is classed as Mental Sport rather than a Physical one.

i played wheelchair basketball last sunday, it hurts so much

Again, the hoops must be massive.

The technique is there for a Professional Snooker player. But, apart from unfortunate disability people, how many adults (16+) on this planet will not be able to perform the actions like the stance and get right down onto the cue, regardless if they can play or not.

So say you just have 1 cue, all adults (16+) in a line, no balls, just the cue, if they saw how a Pro Snooker player does it, how many adults would not be able to perform the same/similar action? 99% of the adult population.

How many people **WOULD** be able to perform the same/similar action?

My apologies.

Shorten it down then to the population of male Snooker players that are 16+.

No balls on a Snooker table. If it was just 1 cue, all 16+ men in a line, they were first shown a demonstration of how the stance and technique is performed to strike a ball (as not all of the men will watch/know of the sport itself), how many do you think will be able to hold that for 3 seconds? 99% at least (as nothing is ever certain) would be able to do that I'd say.

So that is why it doesn't class as a Physical Sport. More proof, at PE in schools, Snooker is not authorised as a Physical Sport because it doesn't partake in "Physical Activity" therefore it can not be done in GCSE PE (for the record, my son found that out just this year as he has started his GCSE's. )
