Hawk, if I didn't have some self-respect and a LOT of respect for TL, I would just call you a FUCKING RETARD.
But since I'm such a nice guy...I won't comment on the is SC a sport thing, I try to broaden your naive approach a little bit from afar.
You argued with clicking not being a physical activity...and you called out on chess "not being a sport"
Look...I've played chess competitively for YEARS, ever since I was a kid (5 years of age, to be exact). And before you call that "physically undemanding" YOU try to sit through a freaking match lasting 6 hours melting your brain while analyzing infinite amount of moves in your head. I can assure you, it makes you tired quite as well as any "real" sport.
I'm sick of people like you (met quite a few to be honest) that say chess isn't a sport. I bet you're one of those going like "OH, YOU PLAY CHESS? WHAT DOES A CHESS-TRAINING LOOK LIKE? PRACTICING TO LIFT THE PIECES OLOLOL?"
Anyway. See, hockey players get subbed fast, as it'd be humanly impossible to stay on the field longer. Does that make soccer (european football) less sports-like? Because people can be on the field longer? Come the fuck on.
It's not about the need of being an athlete that defines sports. Do you need to be an athlete for golf?
I guess that should address your concerns...
P.s.: My tone is a bit over the top, but FUCK, you annoyed me.
Edit: at least Psychotemplar came up with cohesive arguments, not this jackass "you need to be MANLY to do a REAL sport, if a "SKINNY NERD" can do it too, it isn't a sport OLOLOL! :S +1 soul for Psychotemplar, I'm actually only angry at Hawk.

Try sitting perfectly still for 8 hours. Your brain will go fucking insane but it's still not a freaking sport. If tiring out your brain qualifies as a sport, then what isn't a sport? Taking tests is a sport? Studying is a sport? Reading TL is a sport?
