    They also recognize pizza as a vegetable so let's not get too excited.

    US Government Recognizes League of Legends' LSC as Sport - IGN

    Here's a citation for it, I guess. I think it's cool that the process is made easier for people from outside of the US to come play in a video game tournament like this. I wouldn't call gaming a sport, but maybe classifying it as one for the acquisition of sports visas was just the easiest way to make the process of travelling easier. I don't really know how that sort of thing works, though.

    Am I the only person who doesn't give a crap about whether a given competition is labeled a "sport" or not?

    Pizza isn't a vegetable? Please, next you'll be telling me that bacon isn't one of the major food groups.

    You most certainly aren't.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    This is by far one of the least strange things a government has tried to do.

    This doesn't even come close to the DiHydrogen Monoxide trout.

    LoL, there is nothing athletic about gaming. Not a sport.

    This is also why chess is considered a sport.

    Monopoly should be considered a sport then.

    Stuff gets competitive in my house when Monopoly is played.
