Video Games As A Sport - Part II
from the popular-discussion dept
Earlier in the week we had a story about whether or not video games should be considered a sport. Now, here's another article on that same topic, but that takes a much more in-depth look at the similarities between video games and sports, as well as some of the "pro" video gamers out there. One of the gamers (they're all college students, it seems) says he's going to continue gaming after he graduates, just to prove to his parents that all the time he spent playing video games as a kid was "worth it".
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re: redefining sports
Except that it makes the spectators sweat, instead of the "athletes".
