A contentious issue around Darts is the question is it a sport and Paddy Power, sponsors of the Champions League of Darts decided to ask that question.
They asked it to some of the biggest names in the game including Gary Anderson, Michael van Gerwen, Peter Wright and as well as that PDC referee Kirk Bevins.
All of them of course unanimously said yes in reply to this question but they gave reasoning for it as well. This included Peter Wright saying about hitting small targets that are metres away which means it has to be a sport.
Watch the video below for the players' answer to this question:
