Give me a reason why it isnt.

A sport deals with mental and physical stress, which video games and regular sports do both deal with. You also have to take into consideration the concentration factor, the flexibility factor, the patience factor. All of which are active in a regular sport. And with gaming.

meh. i don't know, i've never thought about it that way. but growing up sports always meant like.... being active? moving... being fit? something like that. video games are like the complete opposite of that so it seems ridiculous to call them sports.

Well, using that logic, marriage should be an Olympic event. Hell, just being in a relationship should qualify.

Sorry dude. Gaming isn't a sport. It's a great activity but not a sport. You may have a case for speed trials but it'd debatable.

I don't even think that way to take away from how skilled a lot of pro gamers are, because I understand it takes a lot of effort and dedication, but I just don't see it as a sport and don't see why it needs to be considered a sport either. I don't tune into ESPN to watch livestreams and I don't need to see SSB become an Olympic event either.

Definition of a sport: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

Physical exertion in gaming: movement of arms and fingers and hands in quick succession. Being able to keep up with the pace of a quick team based game without losing concentration.

Skill: This one should be obvious.

Individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment: "MLG operates MLG.tv, the #1 online broadcast network for professional level competitive gaming; the MLG Pro Circuit, the longest-running eSports league in North America; and GameBattles, the largest cross platform online gaming tournament system with 9 million registered users across the globe."

I like sports games because I suck at sports but enjoy them.
