Words have known to change meaning throughout the evolution of language, sometimes it's best to just go along with it.
I think if someone asked you to name a sport and you said Snooker or Darts, you'd be met with a perfectly accepting response. Even Chess if I'm honest, although that might depend on the person asking. Its certainly respected as a sport by a large number of people and organisations.
