Which is to say that you haven't. Nice job being ignorant bro.

Your response is in the thread. The one you haven't read. The one you really should read before you try and rehash the argument that everyone else already put forward and that I responded to multiple times.

Just now, I had plans to read thoroughly the entire thread. But I got bored pretty quickly and figured a browse would suffice. As for sponsorship and popularity of gaming, it looks like you were arguing against a possible argument that nobody even made, but you expected them to make. That being that wide popularity qualifies something as a sport.

So the olympics in the future will be full of horribly obese people in wheelchairs balancing their concoles on their fat tabletop bellies with their pudgy balloon fingers.

I haven't read through the thread, but I have no doubt that some people have made the point that there's no kind of physical activity involved in eSports, yet I really think that this defines the issue for me. The benefits of taking part in sports are clear, development of physiology, increasing stamina and generally making you a healthier person. I'm one of those people who does many sports but is only ever about average at them - I've been selected to represent Manchester in the national cross country county championships (ask me if you're interested!), but yet finished third last in the finals. I managed to get on my local first team seven's rugby, but only because there were only two people competing for each space on the team. But, at the end of the day, after the training, I've oxygenated my blood, I've increased my stamina and cleared my arteries from the fat from my diet. I'm in a good mood. Sadly after a hard day of playing Anime, GuitarBizzare will be no healthier, no fitter and probably have got far less from it. I know it's a matter of preference, but I'd far rather have my precious medals from races I've run in than anything electronic that very few people can relate to and no health benefits. For these reasons, I cannot possibly consider eSports in any way "sports". I'm not saying I have anything against them, I just don't want them to be grouped with the entirely different term "sport" in general. |
