I JUST WATCHED A DEBATE ON THE YOUNG TURKS,ON RATHER ON NOT GAMERS ARE CONSIDERED ATHLETES, ALTHOUGH I ADMIT GAMING TAKES SKILL AND DEMANDS ITS RESPECT, THEY ARE NOT ATHLETES LOL.LETS FACE IT NERDY GUYS, YOUR SITTING ON A COUCH
This is an interesting concept, as gaming moves more toward body movement instead of just an I/O controller device. I'd say this isn't a sport today, but 5 years down the road it could be.
Well athletes get paid and there are professional gamers getting paid they do train and not too many possess the skill set to become a professional gamer so in a way I mean gamers can be athletes
I think it depends on the game.. There are some games that require more physical contribution that moving your fingers on a controller. So some games have an athletic component to it.
WHAT THE HELL. Im a gamer. Full support to the nerds every where. i adore you all. But no no, You are not an athlete. Smh
They maybe not athletes but gaming is considered a sport Look at the tournaments MLG its an actual sport just like other sports have tournemants
