esports, as I understand it, are different to typical sports such as football, baseball, etc. I don't even think the people who take part in esports consider it to be a "sport" per se, more like a competitive game. I don't understand why anyone would want to WATCH other people play competitive multiplayer games but a lot of people do it. It's big business. | |

I always thought a sport was where you get a sweat on. Maybe overweight dudes get a sweat on playing computer games. They sure do playing darts. | |

I've never heard of kotaku but my brother takes part in esports tournaments all the time and he definitely doesn't consider it a sport. He plays for his local football team though and that IS a sport. | |

I don't class it as a sport ... sport to me has to require physical effort. [Edited 2/21/17 9:15am] www.filmsfilmsfilms.co.uk - The internet's best movie site! | |

Regardless of the format -- sports, first person shooter, etc. -- gaming is a skill, not a sport. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Playing with a toy is now considered a sport? To each their own.

If fishing, chess and bowling are considered sports, then yes, why not ? You need good reflexes, strategic skills, etc. I´d say it´s a sport. E-sport "athletes" earn quite some money and burn out before they reach their mid 20s. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs!

I don't think anyone is debating whether e-sport players have skill or not. I'm a big gamer myself so I know the effort you'd need to go to in order to become great at a game ... its no mean feat. www.filmsfilmsfilms.co.uk - The internet's best movie site! | |

Sport: an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc. [Edited 2/23/17 4:30am] Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP. | |

Hey Dave, what are your favorite games? And if you have any, what are the ones that you often go back to, and what are the ones that you used to like, but don´t play anymore? My favorite will always be the GTA series, most of all the GTA IV trilogy but I also like San Andreas, GTA V and of course Vice City. I wish they´d make an updated version of the old ones...with better graphics. One of the games I used to like and play a lot is the Half Life series but for some reason I can´t really get into it anymore because I start feeling dizzy after a few minutes, to the point of feeling really, really sick. I googled that phenomenon and it seems there are thousands of other , similar cases. But I´ll give it another try because it´s a great game.

Fair enough, but fishing? Why is fishing considered a sport? Because you need to be able to stand in the cold water, outdoors? Do you need stamina for fishing? I really don´t know. And dancing is definitely a sport , isn´t it? You need skills, stamina, a fit body, and it is very competitive.
