  • [quote]Do the Special Olympics count as real sports?[/quote] From what I've seen in The Ringer and south Park the stuff they were doing are sports. So yes it counts as a sporting event.

  • Yes sports in the Paralympics do count as sports because they derive from classic sports. But what were you trying to imply by your question? That professional gamers are all disabled and still deserve to be classed as athletes or something else?

  • I have a fücked up circle of friends. If you're fishing for a serious answer, though, then no, I don't consider eSports to be real sports. Professional gamers and athletes are pretty far apart, at least in my opinion.
