    Oh I'm going to lose that one hard

    Those Civ IV grogs are something else entirely and I wouldn't even have a shot in hell

    There was actually a TV show in the UK a fair few years back that re-enacted historical battles which they then displayed using the Total War engine. It was pretty cool.

    Sounds like a good definition for professional athlete in general honestly.
    Except not as other sports require you to actually move more than just your fingers.

    Sports are for dudebros and boring normals

    Therefore a videogame does not fit the definition because it's (SPOILER)better

    They're not recognizing that though, they are recognizing League of Legends which I play and attest is NOT a sport. I also play Chess and know it is also not a sport. I was always under the assumption that you have to exert considerable amount of physical movement for it to be considered a sport. If this isn't the case then a lot of really absurd things could also be consider sports if it's just done competitively.

    If you can call football a sport, then you can pretty much call anything a sport.

    I was more meaning that there should be a DDR tournament, and it should become a sport. That's about the only game I can think of that really gives a workout while you play. I was feeling out of it and for some reason decided that typing "Dance Dance Revolution!" was enough to convey that, haha.

    Friend of mine once said Poker is a sport because it is a thing that people do professionally for money.

    I guess Lawyering is a sport now too.
