So what kind of sports are they going to do? I assume it will be female based with mud wrestlng, topless volleyball etc.

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?

It's a game, it's not a sport.

I would put it on a par with extreme sports (which generally are not competitive yet are called sports )

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.

There's no physical exertion or effort involved at all. If you really really think Counterstrike is a 'sport' you should get out more.

Just why would you know what that is?!

Why do you ?

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?

Googled it because I couldn't believe he was talking about dipping biscuits in hot drinks! Wish I hadn't

I'd say it comes between more chess and table tennis, reflex and rapid hand eye based but also very strategy and tactical based.
