Urban brought up a good point about games not using all the real human attributes. And I laughed thinking about my guy in Call Of Duty running around the map and pulling up lame with a hammy injury.

I'm not sure much more discussion be had on my opinion that gaming doesn't require nearly enough physical activity to be called a sport. There are plenty of hobbies and occupations that involve competition and the same level of physical activity as gaming, and I'm not ready to consider things like writing newspaper columns a sporting event.
