Petition to recognize esports as legitimate sports in the U.S. to solve denial of entry

[Wasted]

He walks a golf course like the rest of them and practises his swing and technique like the rest of them.

So yes.

The way i define sports is if your mother was to tell you “stop lazing around and go play a sport or something” would doing the activity get you smacked when she returns.

yes) not a sport

No) it’s a sport.

Just to stir the pot a little, would y’all consider John Daly an athlete?

I’d have to consider golf a sport instead of a lawn game, so no.

Other things I don’t consider sports, despite varying degrees of athleticism:
-cheerleading
-paintball
-racing cars

[crotchpuncha]

Oooh racing cars is definitely a sport.

Like get real bruh. Those who play videogames competitively are in no way shape or form athletes. Neither are Chess players. You can be a fat fuck one burger bite away from a heart attack and still play. Can’t do that in sports that require actually athletic ability. And if Esports are in the same category as traditional sports, then why the need to refer to them as Esports as appose to just sports period? This like that Youtube vid makes gamers comes off as just being desperate for the same level of praise, attention, wealth and perks that NBA, NFL, pro fighters and what not receive, but without having to do what they do.

I’m all for the FGC growing and what not. but not every hobby gets to grow into a multi billion dollar thing in which those who play become household names and get treated like rock stars. The fact that the FGC is even as big as it is, is a miracle that I never thought possible. Just be happy with that. And should a day come where Esports is on par with traditional sports. Great. But if that day never comes. That’s OK too.

The bolded is exactly how I felt some years ago when “Video games are art” was the big fucking debate.

Extra lolz at thinking chess and video game players are athletes.

GTFO

[Mood4food77]

It’s not our fault that competitive video games has to be considered a sport for these kinds of privileges.

If chess can be a sport, so can video games.

[CHIEfy]

SRK is infested with charletons.

Niggas are super biased against a game that they don’t even play - let alone at a competent level.

No wonder you guys of all people don’t understand that e-sports requires a lot of hard work and dedication - just like traditional sports.

Y’all probably think peeps like Pewdiepie don’t have real jobs. Are you jealous or even pissed off at the thought of Youtubers making millions of dollars a year without lifting 40 Ibs?

I don’t know. Stay mad while Smash and Pokken color the EVO stage.
