Could the rumours be true??

While I don't share his contempt, I still agree with him. eSports isn't a sport. I will never consider LAN parties or computer games a sport.

Hmm yes because it dosen't have the same hand to eye co-ordination or teamwork as shooting or archery?
 
yep nothing says "empowered woman" like a "force grip" like choke around her neck while humping from behind - that's playboy for you, always inovative in making women feel good about doing bad things

Wow the mag has changed since I was a lad....
 
I would put it on a par with extreme sports (which generally are not competitive yet are called sports :p )

Oh extreme sports can be very completive. There is a world of difference between events (or races) and some guy with big brass ones jumping off a cliff.
 
If you believe sport to defined by physical exertion you couldn't really say computer games were a sport - you couldn't say darts or snooker were either but you could say ballroom dancing was (physical activity governed by rules performed competitively).

The real rub comes in motor racing, is there enough physical exertion racing a car to call it a sport? Certainly in F1 there is, they under go massive g-forces, lose pints of liquid and have to keep in top physical shape. But lower down the order is btcc a sport?
 
I'd say it comes between more chess and table tennis, reflex and rapid hand eye based but also very strategy and tactical based.
