EPTHonestly, I don't really care if something is a sport or not. It just adds awesomeness to the fact that I play that particular game that's a sport.
Just have fun. No reason why we should be all crazy about it.

Regardless of whether it actually deserves to be called a sport, calling it one may actually harm the growth of the scene by getting those who do not understand it to go "What? A video game can't be a sport, what are these people thinking? What a joke!". It would be easier to get more people into it if we didn't first have to convince them that sitting at a computer can be called a sport. So in that sense, I do believe it matters because it could actually bring even more unfounded negativity towards Starcraft due to the ignorance surrounding it. Well you don't need something designated as a sport for it to be successful. Likewise, just because something is a sport doesn't mean it's going to encourage more people to participate... look at half the olympic sports. I just felt like venting when I wrote this... didn't see the point of all of these arguments on whether SC2 should be a sport or not. People on both sides have the same arguments pointing out "flaws" in other sports... like I see some saying baseball or hockey players don't need sharp minds, or others saying SC2 or chess players don't need to be physically fit. That says something about the poster's lack of knowledge or engagement in an activity more so than the truth. How many mentally disabled MLB or NHL players do we have? How much physical stamina do you think BW pros or chess have if they didn't have to hit the gym once in a while? Point is you need a bit of both for everything we do, some lean towards one aspect more than the others.. but arguing which activities are "superior" in a sense to another is just silly. | ||
