Anyway. It's not like video games are physically taxing. How exactly could they be compared to sports?

They're no more of a sport than jacks or board games.


Now there is an idea! Olympic level monopoly.

There was a very low budget show on a year or so ago. It comprised of; two teams, a wad of badly made simlulators (PC Games in other words) and a comentator with a lisp.

The teams had to battle against each other in a series of LAN games. Kinda like a clan match only a lot more organised.

(At some points a member of the team would be able to go and 'hack the system' on a different computer, and if they succeeded then they would earn some random bonuses for their team. The actual 'hacking' involved some frantic clicking on a simple thrown together website to solve some riddle or another)

It failed miserably... as would an olympic version...
Wow. That was the most anticlimatic post I've ever read.

I agree with Kensei... I doubt it will ever be an olympic event anyway.

Oh man :P That's ridiculous. As much as I love gaming, it's just not a sport - much less an Olympic one.
