What do I get for weapons and where do I have to respawn?

The little ones play DDR with more energy than I put into beer league softball so it might just be a sport.

I think that something is a sport if there is physical exertion involved. If not, it isn't a sport for me. So I don't really think gaming can be a sport, because you don't move more than your wrists and fingers lol.

Well, Video Gaming, now that I think of it, Blurs the line between the Sport- A physical, competitive form of Entertainment- And Art, leisure media produced for entertainment.

Video games are the gap between the two. They are competitive, and some are physical, but it is also often some type of media... and it is always entertainment. It more or less depends as to how one looks at it.

In my opinion, no, reason being. It isn't physically demanding on the person. Sure you need some great skill for top level play, but when I think of sports I think American Football, Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, etc.

No sports is getting off your ass running around instead of sitting playing games and calling it a "sport" so you can judge yourself less for playing so many games.

I'm playing first person shooters that require teamwork lol. It isn't physically demanding. I'm not gonna break a sweat, lose my breath, get hurt, or gain any muscle sitting around playing games like I would playing an actual sport.
