I think someone removed the physical bit as a mutually exclusive term.

If Pool and Snooker are sports, and they are technically just 3d multiplayer games on a board, then why couldn't a 3d mulitplayer game shown on a screen be one?

I think the issue here is everyone's terminology of what a sport is.

Is it a game or is it a physical contest? Or both? Or either?

I don't really care biggrin:

considering that they put curling in the Olympic games (and I've heard that they are considering paintball) I don't see why computer games can't be called a sport too

I actually listened to one of The Dark Realm's (TDR) matches on some site. That was back in early early March, possibly one of the first league matches. It was interesting to hear play-by-play comentary on a game. They were playing V2. I think TDR won; they were pretty good until they split up.

Paintball would be bad-ass in the olympic games! It would be the only interesting sport to watch....!

I'm bored of the summer olympic events....Winter still has my interests...

Heh they should have Airsoft World War III. Get like 200 people from each country and put them in a 200 mile field with all different types of land features. That would be interesting.

I can see it now:

team France surrenders,
team USA all shoot each other,
team Iraq get's D.Q.ed for holding spectators hostage,
the Japanese get pissed because they don't get bayonets and Samurai swords,
etc.

here's my definition of a sport, i know it's gonna anger some people, but here it is:

Something is not a sport unless it involves a ball, excluding table top games like foosball, pingpong and pool. Any other "activities" are either just activities or means of transportation (running, swimming, racing...)

So swimming, wrestling, running, high jumping, long jumping, ect aren't sports? What are they then?

so, paintgball involves a ball, OK, OK, squadrons and squadrons of balls.
does that make paintball a sport?
