Topic: Your opinion on colleges accepting video games as a sport?

@Rosalina Yay! gamercat is my favorite :]

In my mind, if it doesn't involve physical activity, it isn't a sport.

It gives you vitamin D, I think.

Also, I think it's fine. If they make the gameplay in these games accurate enough, people can fight on screen, without actually getting hurt. Just look at the new UFC game. I don't want to fight in real life, but I'm fine with it in a video game. The only thing that sucks, is that people who may have been told it wasn't, are now being told that it is.

Pretty much all I came here to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dumb, dumb idea, still if it gets someone in to school, good for them I guess.

Oh great now they'll invent some kind of steroid/enhancement drug for this and their shall be cheaters. But on the bright side now maybe Gatorade will sponsor games.

Yup, the this is stupid responses was my initial reaction.

Definition.

1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.

By definition, no, video games should not be accepted as a physical activity.

While I don't think games really count as sports by the classic definition (then again, race car driving is a sport), I don't really see an issue with competitive gaming becoming something more mainstream. There are pros and cons regarding both sports and "esports", but both can definitely require skill. I see no problem with giving more people the chance to attain an college education.

Look on the bright side, at least some kids on athletic scholarships will finally graduate with legitimate degrees

Plus, your hands sweat! Which burns fat!

I don't know about you, but my hands are jacked.

_{where's my scholarship}

Well, it's TV. Shouldn't believe everything you see on TV, including what's on the news.

That pretty much settles it.

IDC whatever makes more people feel special and better than others at something I say go for it.

The fact that there's a scholarship being offered for playing a game is alarming enough.

My opinion: lol.

you stole my opinion, before I even had it! XD
