Because of those reasons, I could see videogames being represented in the Olympics, particularly eSports. But, I just don't think we're there yet. Maybe by 2018. I think it'd be cool, but we have WCS and WCG for now. If it happens awesome, if not, also awesome. | ||

Synchronised swimming, shotput, discus, javelin throw, walking, equestrian (shouldn't the horse get a medal instead?) to name a few. | ||

But if Tetris makes the cut for the Olympics...well, let's just say I will be even more disappointed in humans than I already am. P.S. What result did you think this pole was going to get on a Starcraft community site?  EDIT: BTW fuck you Megyn Kelly. Just sayin'. | ||

The Olympics is the pinnacle of human physical achievement, teamwork, and dedication and is the most prestigious sporting event in the world. Asking if a 2 year old video game should be a part of it is rather insulting tbh. | ||

That said, seems like every female news reporter on Fox is an opinionated cunt. I mean at least the ones like Bill O'Reilly have the decency to invite the opposition over to his table and at least pretend to be impartial, Megyn Kelly just says "Nope. This makes badminton look intense. End of story." | ||

I don't think there is near enough international competition to make it worthwhile to even be considered an Olympic event. It would be year after year of the same ol same WCG results. | ||
