Is gaming a sport! Yes I thank so because the definition of sport is?an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, when you are playing a game you are competitive online at least and it takes skill and if you count it if your playing the kinect for Xbox you will be moving and that is physical so yes I think gaming is a sport. What do you think about it do you disagree?

I am not going to agree with you on that. I do love gaming and quite a lot but the facts are that it is not a sport. Yes there is all of that MLG stiff but lets be honest here it is nothing like the "real" sports. Yes you can play wii sports and yes the Kinect gets you active but those games and consoles are not very popular and I have never heard of a Kinect Adventure MLG!
If gaming was a sport I would compare it to Snooker & Darts. These sports require no physical requirements to be good. Anyone can do it, whether they are an elite athlete or obese. Gaming is similar to the sports because it can be internationally competitive however you physical health can be bad yet you can still win.

Yes in football the fat line men are not in good health but you can win. They usually way 300-400 pounds gaming requires skill and physical activity much more than darts.
