[quote]This guy was arguing with me yesterday saying Its just like real life football......XD WHAT!!![/quote]
I asked a forum friend the same thing, now I'm asking you guys. I was taking too this hardcore Overwatch guy at work yesterday and he almost broke down crying (not really, he did get pissed tho lol) because I said football, basketball, ect are real sports and eSports aren't.....because they aren't. Are eSports a job....idk.
Edit: How are they real sports if you say yes? Please explain. I can name 70 real athletes, but not one esport gamer. But thats just me. [spoiler]I don't follows sports, not a hardcore sports fan but I dabble[/spoiler]
Edit: video, He makes perfect sense
Edit: no/XD for the win
Edit: Alright Esport fans, dont get triggered, If you think it is and enjoy it who care what me or anyone else thinks. I was just trying too see where everyone's head was, no big deal. Those guys get paid too do that stuff and I didn't know that. Watch, Destiny 2's pvp will become an esport.

I've been thinking about this since i last posted im here blank amount of days ago. Sports often involve teamwork (which can require a lot of things) and ones own skills (physical, mental and shit). Video games often involve teamwork, and ones own skill as well. I think eSports can be considered a sport (I'm not switching from my No XD) because yes, it typically does involve teamwork and ones own skill. You need to communicate and coordinate with your team if you wanna win. You need to be in a good mental state if you wanna dominate. Being in a good physical state can also help you as well. Also, Gordon Hayward, superstar SF of the Utah Jazz thinks eSports are a sport. The man makes millions in the NBA, even then more and more athletes are starting to consider it a sport. That's my quick take on it though.
