1. Andriesen doesn't take a specific position on how define a sport except that he believes that defining a sport is a very difficult task and can be define many different ways. It really just depends on who you are talking to. He brings up information about acitivties that aren't defined as sports in some places and are in others and how the criteria changes from place to place and time to time.
2. It would be important for competitions such as the Olympics to have accepted criteria about what constitutes as a sport to keep everything regulated and running smoothly. Also it helps keep the activity from becoming too varied in place to place if the rules are the same for a major competition or event.
