"The Hawking Test" is a way of settling any debate over whether or not an activity qualifies as a sport (i.e. chess, NASCAR, cheerleading, etc.). When debating, take a step back and ask yourself "could Stephen Hawking participate in this activity?" If the answer is yes, then that activity is definitely not a sport. If the answer is no, it can qualify as a sport.
