I think you would be very hard pressed to find anyone that thinks Backgammon is a sport.

"SportAccord's definition of Sport: The sport proposed should include an element of competition. The sport should not rely on any element of “luck” specifically integrated into the sport. The sport should not be judged to pose an undue risk to the health and safety of its athletes or participants. The sport proposed should in no way be harmful to any living creature. The sport should not rely on equipment that is provided by a single supplier.

"SportAccord uses five categories for its member federations' sports, many of which fall into more than one category: Primarily physical (e.g. rugby or athletics). Primarily mind (e.g. chess or go). Primarily motorised (e.g. Formula One or powerboating). Primarily coordination (e.g. billiards). Primarily animal-supported (e.g. equestrianism)."

Members of SportAccord include the World Bridge Federation, FIDE, and the International Go Federation.
