Gotta disagree with this review. I think it's trying to pigeon hole GAMING into a "sport" atmosphere when it should be put in the same category as games like CHESS - where THOUSANDS of people DO come and watch TWO spectators go at it.

GAMING could EASILY develop it's own league of players, CONSISTENT players, and be taken seriously. It's simply the WEALTH of games, and gamers out there that almost make this impossible.

And no offense, but I think SHAQ, WEBBER, JORDAN, KIDD, etc take basketball VERY seriously - and DO practice to be the best. They love what they do - but I'm sure theyd rather be the BEST, than someone who "just likes" what they are doing.
