Wouldn’t you rather describe your view as “so far what I’ve seen hasn’t been art to me, and I don’t really care to investigate further” and leave it at that?

I guess I just believe in people's ability to use deductive reasoning and common sense and don't feel the need to couch my statements in every possible caveat.

Plenty of games, movies, tv, dances, are explicitly art. Plenty of them are also not.

I believe in the indomitable human spirit and the endless potential of human creativity. I believe anything can be made art through human determination and inspiration. Of course I believe wrestling can be art because nothing humanity touches is outside the realm of art. And of course I concede that without having witnessed the whole of wrestling, it's possible art has been made in or through it. None of that changes my position that wrestling, as standard, is not art. I don't understand what you or anyone gains from intentionally missing the forest for the trees by insisting on pedantry and narrowing on hypotheticals, edge cases, and exceptions while ignoring the reality of the mundane standard.

I'm so tired of having to say shit like "in my opinion" and "I think" as if people can't fucking infer the obvious; this is the same.
