Latest poll asking whether on-line gaming is a 'sport' is one I had ta say no to. They are games. That would be like calling chess a sport, or any sit-down type games for that matter, sports generally entail some sort of physical activity other than finger and brain movement. I consider sports things you actually have to get out of your chair to do, not sedentary arm-chair stuff. Just my 0.02$ worth for the afternoon.

I agree with those 2 cents. But why ressurect a 2 year old page?

Why not? Its the place for it and was getting very lonely and moldy lol. I actually tried to start a new topic for the poll but was told I had an error as I didn't have permission. Go figure.

lol, that sucks.

There definitly needs more polls and such, the Weekly Poll on the homepage has been the same for, um, well, since I joined, so over a year and ive voted in it more than a few times.

That is probably not exactly what you ment, but it still needs work.

Depends on the game. Some you are just clicking the mouse, and some you are literally excersizing your forearms like a lunatic.
I'd say....yes for some.

There's this kinda game (usually about olympic sports or something) in which you have to do some heavy-duty button-bashing, which could be considered a sport. But I'd have to answer no to this one, because I also expect some physical straining when I hear the word "sport".
On the other hand, games can require just as much (if not more) training as (than) a sport would. Hmm, this is tough (but I chose "no" anyway wink.gif)

Agreed, definitly not a sport. At the VERY VERY UTMOST possably could be considered exercise and even thats a stretch. Sports involve physical activity. if itas all mental activity, its called a game.
