I had an argument with a kid about this on Delitive Mod.
I had like, 50 different sources. He refused to google "Is gaming a sport."
Here's what google has to say: Gaming is indisputably a sport! Just like any other athletic endeavor, it requires tremendous skill and strategy. It can be played individually or on a team. And serious eSports athletes train for months on end, displaying strong mental focus, quick reaction time, and extreme dedication as they compete.
TBS Sponsored CS:GO's ELEAGUE tournament last Friday. As another sport.
National Sports Association classifies ESports as "Mind Sports" I think I won. |

Gaming is NOT a Sport.
People just want to look good by creating the term eSports.

"I had like, 50 different sources. He refused to google "Is gaming a sport."" google isnt a resource tubby
"Gaming is indisputably a sport! Just like any other athletic endeavor, it requires tremendous skill and strategy."
tremendous is a massive overstatement, games have skill ceilings, after that its all luck.
"And serious eSports athletes train for months on end" fatty fatty nofriends
"TBS Sponsored CS:GO's ELEAGUE tournament last Friday. As another sport." yeah because tbs is definitely a credible source of this information
"National Sports Association classifies ESports as "Mind Sports"" "mind sports" only exist because of petitions by pansies who cant do anything else
"I think I won." obnoxious

tbs sponsoring something as a sport doesnt make them right about it google isnt a resource, the things you find on google are, and telling someone to google something isnt going to prove your point, because the results are obviously going to be mixed

A Mind Sport itself is not even Sport itself. Its a totally different Genre......
And no... These kind of competitive PvP isn't even Mind consuming.
People want to Game and say its a Sport is just to feel good at how they don't go out and actually EXERCISE.

he means that TBS televised a live gaming competition. i saw an advertisement, it was 2 or 3 hours of coverage. personally i think it's a little outlandish, but it's a valid point the original poster made about esports emergence. |
