Dont they have regular sports. ???
Haha, competitive sport. It can be competitive, but it's in NO WAY a sport. You sit down and press buttons on a controller. I'm not trying to say that video games suck, but I can't see how you could call it a sport in any way.

It's only as daft as Darts, Snooker and Poker being a real sport in my opinion really. Maybe less passtimes should be classified as sports. Rather than going around adding more of them.
From Wiki:
"A sport consists of a physical activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or, more often, some combination of these."
Videogaming isn't (usually) a physical activity.
It is recreational and competative
Self-enjoyment: yes
Excellence: yes
you could say its the development of a skill
So 4/5 is enough to make it a sport imo
Ok well i saw the 60 minute special about fatal1ty some time ago. And i think that gameing will be a sport some day. if you say it wont be enjoyable to watch. Baseball is not enjoyable watch to someone that is not from america. But because america enjoys baseball it is enjoyable to watch (for some people). Its just a matter of time before gameing gets big enough so it can be enjoyed as a sport. Infact i think gameing will be a bigger sport then most sports today because you could watch a big gameing event then go play that same game in your house alone. no other sport is like that.
The 21st Century is a Century of computers so why not adopt a sport that involves computers?
