Sport is defined as something competitive with a set of rules, now video games are competitive as well as they have set of rules thus making everybody think they are sports. But what they DONT realize is the part in sports where it says PHYSICAL. I have posted a topic at this sub forum http://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=214 arguing that video games are NOT sports.

Yes, sports are only basketball, baseball, football, and soccer.
No, they are not sports

This is the dumbest poll ever.

The definition of a sport is so vague, anything can be a sport in a certain way.

But I still don't believe gaming is a sport.

If Gaming is a sport then fat asian kids who play video games 24/7 and weigh 500 pounds and live in their parents basements can be considered athletes.

No, nothing to do with the physical nature but the concept
Basketball, it has progressed through the ages but it's had the same concept since it's invention
Video games, a new one comes out every day, if you suck at one it doesn't matter since it eventually becomes obsolete, non-existent
They change to much, there is no set standard

So if I say 'yes' because I think video games are sport, I'm basically saying no.
And if I say "no" because I think video games aren't sport, I'm basically saying yes.

Rigged poll is rigged, might want to check your logic again.
