Gaming: A True Sport?

Posted by scoSilver on the 4th of November 2005 at 4:57 PM.

Not that long ago there was a debate on if gaming should be classed as a sport, This debate has now came back over at gotfrag.com where David Light sheds some light into the topic and opens our eyes on the situation. A very well written article by David Light that takes up 3 pages regarding the question. Here is a little tease!

"The age old debate is back, but this time David Light hopes to finally put any indifferences to rest. Can professional gaming be classified as a sport, or are we all fooling ourselves?"

Electronic Sports is the name given to professional gaming. The debate has broken out on forums in response to articles, and even in the homes of many for the short time the classification has existed. So can it be called a sport? Well, not so fast... It is with this piece I hope to open a few eyes on the situation, and come to an ultimate conclusion. Now, I fully realize my position at an eSports News site pretty much solidifies my intentions for many. But in the most unbiased, logical and reasonable way possible I hope to reach an irrefutable solution. I may even be able to refute the biggest argument against eSports - the definition of sport itself. So stick with me, and I promise I'll turn so many heads Linda Blair would vomit in jealousy, should she be reading.



The above statement gives you a little insight of what the article has to offer, A few of you may go "I can't be assed to read all of that" but i assure you it is an excellent read on the topic. Not only does David Light go into dept of the question but he opens up your mind by comparing the two.
