I'm playing smite for fun. Not as a sport. You guys are playing it as a sport. All the complaints about "Op this" and "Broken that" or "Unfair this" and "You are fat"

If you remove the computer from us right now you will notice that you are just starting at nothing and moving your fingers....

Unless moving your fingers counts as a sport than its not a sport.

I don't really consider moving my fingers better than the other player to be a sport or something like that. Its just called competitive gaming or gaming, major league gaming whatever, I don't say to the hot chicks, ya so um.... I got to go ....

Girl replies back "Where you going?"
Me : "Sports"
Girl replies "What sport you play football, basket ball, baseball?"
Me : "I play video games, stare at a screen and move my fingers around"
Girl "......." - - - - > Leaves

I be like, ya man, I have to go lift weights with my fingers, you know I have to have them fast fingers for Smite to be the best!!! I gotta train for this sport man call me later, right now I am eating my protein to make sure my fingers get nice and strong for the big event.

Did you see me on the highlight real? Ya man I burnt so much calories playing Thor last night!!
IT was craaaazzy!!!

Ya case closed its not a sport.

Why does it when people hear the word 'sport' they think off sprinting, soccerfootball, or something else?

Sport is something competitive. You do it in order to achieve something. In this meaning, 'sport' does not only extend to 'physical' activities. (There's a difference between 'Exercise' and 'Sport', if we're taking the physical activities as the case here.) That's why 'games' like Bridge and Chess is regarded as sports as well. That's why we get the term e-sports.

BOOM!
Sport (or sports) is all forms of usually competitive physical activity which,[1] through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability

is gaming a sport, no unless you get people to power the PCs with a treadmill

Ever heard of the term 'sportsmanship'? It's when people duke it out, putting all they have on the line in order to achieve something. And they do it in such a way that makes it possible who is the better man.

That's why sprinters duke it out. To get their gold medals.
That's why MLGs train their ***es off everyday. To win their 1 million US$ prize money.
That's why Professional Chess players go through their chess boards everyday. To make sure they are better than whoever their opponent may be.

I really don't think it matters, gaming as a career won't provide for you appropriately unless you're a world champion. In 10-15 years, I bet prize pools for gaming will be much more so it might be a thing for the next generation.

I watched a documentary on it lmao
