so the fact that i can move my mouse more accurately and with more dexterity than you means that i dont use my superiority to dominate you?

video games are obviously a sport, the only people that say no are the people that suck at them. plain and simple

Pretty much.

I've been highly above average at Warcraft 3 and pretty good at HoN and I would NEVER count either as an ACTUAL sport.

A sport is an organized, competitive, entertaining, and skillful activity requiring commitment, strategy, and fair play, in which a winner can be defined by objective means.

So Uno is a sport.

I guess it depends on which dictionary you are looking up the word in.

Ultimately, 'sport' is just a word and it means what people say it to mean ...

No they're not sports, they may be highly competitive but moving your mouse back and forth a few inches doesn't count as physical activity.
