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 just wait for the day long in the future where the biggest sport worldwide is played by robots and controlled by other humans, and it'd be acceptable for everyone saying otherwise in this thread

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.

in my opinion, sport just means a job meant for entertainment that doesnt contribute to society, other than acting and stuff like that
