You are the one with the preconceived notion that everyone who enjoys playing video games has "spent years in their mother's basement". I guess you also enjoy being blind to the truth.

Would driving a 400 mile race at speeds reaching 200+ mph be physically taxing? Sure. Giving birth is physically taxing too. I don't consider it an athletic activity. Basketball, Football, Soccer, Tennis, Gymnastics, Weightlifting, Running, Swimming, Skating/Hockey. I always remember the TV based “Superstars” competition they used to have on ABC in the 70s where various athletes from different sports would compete in varying events. It had some of the most well-known sports stars of the day but was usually won by someone you never heard of (Kyle Rote, Jr., etc.). The first year it was won by Bob Seagram (a pole vaulter) and the late Peter Revson (a racer) finished either 2nd or 3rd.

How can an activity where gravity does most of the work, like the engine in a racing car, be considered a sport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called that one from a mile away. I don't understand the prejudice towards gamers? This isn't the 80's any more. I would say 90% of high school kids nowadays have played or play video games regularly. You may not agree that it is a sport, but there is no reason to bash people that play and say that this is a way for them to "justify" their behavior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just ruffling his feathers because he is so defensive about it that it was comical. It's a leisure activity that is relatively harmless unless you allow it to control your life. Unfortunately I've seen that happen. I used to work with a guy (and 30-something-year-old adult) that would stay up all night playing a game then show up for work everyday looking dead tired. He insisted that he just didn't need as much sleep as most people but he was let go for performance and you'll never convince me that sacrificing sleep for his gaming time didn't play a huge part in that.
