You sure do have quite the open mind there. You know, when you make a thread to hear other people's opinions, you usually don't shut down every who goes against what you believe.

Oh well.

Dude sports are very talented people that are in shape or fat because your a lineman. Gaming is for fat kids that eat potato chips and play halo. A good example of that is scrubtwista.

A sport requires physical activity, and gaming does require quick reaction time and good hand eye coordination. This may not be 'physical' in the sense of weightlifiting, but it doesn't fall into 'mental' or 'spiritual' so it has to be physical, being that it deals with your body

Mentally, gaming is a challenge (well, competitive games), you have to think your way through situations, and you have to use communication/teamwork in many games. That is all mental.

Many people will disagree, and their arguments are valid, but by DEFINITION, which is the one you put up in the first post, yes, it is a sport.

This is where I waiver. By definition it is a sport... but I dont really consider it one. Like AbusedGoat said, I dont REALLY consider Poker or Chess sports. But by definition, they are. REAL sports require MUCH more physical activity than moving your thumbs.

What exactly in the definition given makes you think that the word 'sport' has anything to do with video games? Umm... athletic...nope... physical prowess...noooope... competitive...yes... but it's 2 to 1 here... not a sport. Nothing about gaming is physical (asside from games like DDR and shit)... you sit in a chair and push buttons on a controller... gaming is competitive, but it's not a sport, just like poker... would you call playing poker a sport? It has nothing to do with athleticism... the only thing that makes you any better then anyone else is you being able to out-think your opponents

(wow I can't spell anything...)
