Most dictionary definitions would disagree. Unless you're just trying to support your own views and don't care about what words actually mean. When people think of sports, they think of athletics. There's many definitions for tons of words, which is why context is important. When someone claims playing certain video games is a sport, they're trying to place it's credibility with stuff like basketball, baseball, football, and the like. Well if they called it just a sport sure that cred argument might hold up. If they call it sport short for E-sport that's a different story. Pretty sure if anything it's to seperate from casual games/gamers which encompasses most of the industry. There's no shame in them doing so. I don't go out of my was to differentiate when I'm playing ice hockey and roller hockey unless it's relevant to the discussion. No reason they should have to either. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X <cite>Zeeak4444 posted [p:884919270] in I never go...
