I was more suggesting that a society that values entertainment more than physical well being of the participants should be discouraged or better yet not embraced by an already obese and attention deficit people.
Yes gymnastics have been a sport for years no?
Pool and darts yes require skill
Yes some games also require skills, but the point being putting 10,000 hours in to become skillful is really only going to have a negative influence during one of those activities.

Knot tiring reupquires talent, would you support a knot tiding sport?



Knot tying is stretching quite far from anything I’ve suggested as a sport


But hacky sack I would support as a sport because I’ve played a lot of hacky sack in my day and there was a game we used to play called three hack wack, you would hit the hacky sack 3 times then kick it at someone and if they weren’t able to make a play off the kick (if it hit the body) they were out… was fun and did require some skill and I gaurentee you could put that on ESPN and people would watch it.


But back to knot tying… no I don’t think I could consider that a sport… i guess you could time out who could tie a rope the fastest but it would be kinda stupid… nothing I’ve suggested is dumb… rope tying… I dunno bro

I guess my next question xistz would be what if the gamer or the person doing said activity sport or not is healthy lean or inshape


Not all Esprts players are fat…


I will say some are not but their fitness doesn’t really matter for the “sport” they play “esports”

I was talking about the rule not so much the exception
Generally, spending the required time to get to a pro level requires large amounts of time spent stationary, at least with most of the games throughout my lifetime.

The term fat followed by the dots was your words
I am speaking to fitness and obesity.
Something that aspirations of "esports" wouldn't typically improve

Maybe we should make teaching/learning proper nutrition a sport next..

Hacky sack and slack lines next

Basically what I just read you say is the equivalent of calling d2 a sport. Witch requires zero fitness and is actually counterintuitive for health

What other bad-for-you activities should we embrace people harming themselves with for "entertainment"

I think most of your prolly need a tooth brushing / physical activity category just for participating
Meanwhile the rest of us can play reality while y'all skipp out


I think you are defining sport strictly to a physical activity.

Esports has all the characteristics of a sport except it is controlling the digital characters with your brain and hand-eye coordination. Its a team game that battles intelligence and team strategy.

All sports is a form of entertainment, sports at elite levels are all unhealthy and borders on lethal in some instances. Do you think all elite boxers that we watch on TV are not getting injured? Do you I imagine basketball players dont push themselves to puking just so you can clap and say omg they so good.

You are as naive as you sound.

Comparing injuries to obesity is laughable.
Goes to show how defining sports broadly as anything entertainment related has conditioned you all to be unaware or uncaring of your prioritization of profit or dopeamine over safety or social awareness

Stripping should be a sport

Wtf you talking about? Most of people who compete in esports at professional level are average-skinny. There is probably like 1 or 2 guys who are chubby and you are confusing them with some cheeto covered filthy casuals who are spectating from the couch.
