Yes for two reasons it falls under the category of sports by definition and because if you think about it NASCAR is a sport and that is the most boring sport ever.

  • [quote] falls under the category of sports by definition[/quote] https://www.google.com/#q=sport+definition [i]an activity involving physical exertion[/i] So what "physical exertion" are you experiencing while sitting on your ass playing a video game? [quote] if you think about it NASCAR is a sport[/quote] You can't get into a car and go around the track at those speeds. You have to condition yourself to handle the stress that's being put on your body. So it might not look like it, but it's physical.

  • OK so they stand, that still doesn't change anything. Standing or sitting there's still nothing " "physical exertion" about playing a video game. Unless you're playing Wii games to an extreme what they're doing is normal playing.
