This past week, ESPN's Sportscenter has run a series on videogames, with several pieces actually pitching videogames as a sport. In this week's installment of Gamers' Thumb, James and Troy discuss if videogaming is actually a sport, as well as sports in general. Honestly, we videogame and play sports like baseball and football we can't call Madden tournaments a sport. NASCAR and those types of things aren't sports in my mind. They're racing. It's strenuous, it's an event, you have to train, but I don't really think it's this great physical feat. Same thing goes for gaming, or cheerleading for that matter. There's this massive inclusion of sports. Why does ESPN2 air the National Spelling Bee, why does the National Spelling Bee take TV timeouts? These kids deserve credit, but on ESPN? I don't want to watch MAGIC either. I really just want to watch some sports but the network doesn't have enough programming to go around. Videogames shouldn't be considered sports. Hand-eye coordination isn't enough reason for me to call you a professional athlete. Professional? Yes. Athlete? No. I can answer that one fairly easy: no, it's not. That idea is ridiculous. It's amazing that people can consider an event where you sit down, press some buttons and maybe stand up a time or two to either a) go get something to eat, b) go to the bathroom or c) yell at the television, a sport. In my opinion, sports require a fair amount of activity, maybe even a little athleticism: sorry, sitting down for a couple of hours doesn't count. So if you're sitting at home, playing a sport on television (lets say MADDEN), this doesn't mean you yourself are playing a sport; you're playing a simulation of a sport. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but who are these people that are coming up with this stuff? If I don't consider cheerleading a sport, what in the world would make anyone think that I would consider gaming a sport? Give me a break. It'll give you use for all those GBA womens broncos jerseys 2 GCN link cables you have laying around after CRYSTAL CHRONICLES. Also coming out from Atlus is a version of SHINING FORCE for the Game Boy Advance. More strategy love for the GBA is never a bad thing.
