Yes starcraft is considerd as a sport according to the way sport is defined, but they put many different definitions into this word, enlgish language often does this (well internet as far as youre resources go),but if they leave out "An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively." then i will be right, and starcraft would NOT be a sport, i think sport should only be defined as a PHYSICAL activity. Lets see, is playing poker gonna get you physically fit? how about monopoly? and if starcraft is considered as a "sport" then why dont we play it when we took PE classes in school? I think the whole definition of the word sport should only focus on physical games. And YES i think them calling poker a sport is fuckin retarded.

I know this has been stated before, but here you go.
First bold; (almost) all professional gamers are required to be physically fit. Moving your hands at a dizzying 300 apm while keeping your mental state for 8 hours a day requires a lot of endurance and hand strength. Starcraft is obv governed by a set of rules so I won't even touch that.
Second bold; Poker=/=Starcraft, as well as your other retarded point (monopoly, lolz?)
Third bold; Many reasons, first among them being that there are BETTER WAYS to physically exert yourself then getting good at starcraft.
Fourth bold; It doesn't matter what you think the definition of sport should be because you are a random troll on an internet forum.

They need to change the definition of sport, if starcraft is a "sport" then why don't we play it in the gym? Why are the people who usually play video games for a fuckin living are fat looser slobs huh HUH?
