It rather depends on who is playing bridge as to whether it's a sporting activity.

Is chessboxing a sport?
Or just half of it?

And they have to evade trolls.

This thread reminds me of a scene from the western film Evil Roy Slade. Roy is playing poker with his gang of outlaws, there is a huge pot and it's showdown time.
Gang member. "I've got two kings and an ace"
Roy. " I've got two fives and a gun... "
