We all know what the "real" sports are. By your reasoning, although technically correct, gaming is considered a sport as well. I don't view that as one either

    It's a sport now. Porn is a sport and gaming is a sport pretty soon napping and breathing will be a sport as well. Edit- forgot to mention that people have gotten scholarships to college for gaming and some colleges even have gaming teams with a coach and they compete with other college teams.

  • By definition, gaming isn't a sport because it doesn't require physical exertion.

  • It's not just something people call a sport it's a real sport just like soccer hockey and football. The only reason I said legal sport I'd because I couldn't think of the word. It's also only a sport because is has physical contact and movement. But lacks competition ATM.

  • What determines wether or not a sport is "real"? And a sport requires direct competition therefor porn isn't a sport just like me running on a treadmill isn't a sport.

  • Yeah it shouldn't be a sport but it has recently been deemed a sport for no -blam!-ing reason what so ever.

  • Wether or not someone deems it a sport has nothing to do with wether or not it is a sport.

  • Yes it does if the people who decide what and what isn't a sport want it to be a sport make it a sport it's not hard.

  • "Sport" is a term that we use to describe certain activities. Porn doesn't fall under the description so it isn't a sport until the definition of "sport" changes or porn changes.

  • You just really don't like to be wrong. It has physical contact your moving and the two or more people having sex are competing with one another I suppose. There for it is a sport now. Should it really be a sport? No no it shouldn't but is it a sport? Sadly yes.

  • In the fingers, so technically it does. Bottom line is, neither one of them are "real" sports

  • The word "exertion" implies something strenuous and tiring. Moving your thumbs isn't strenuous. What is a "real" sport and who gets to define it?

  • Nope. It may be strenuous to some but it lacks a competition that is watched by others for enjoyment.

  • But it's considered a sport, like the esports or whatever it's called. All I'm saying, most people in marching band(key word most, are not athletic what so ever)

  • By definition, gaming isn't a sport. By definition, marching band is a sport because you compete and it involves physical exertion.
