Or a fake 'sport' like chess? Youtube asked me to watch it and based on the number of asian, it seems more like chess. Also nobody has a beer in their hand. There are like a billion people in this stadium and I don't understand.

I'm waiting for the part where some dude who was injured earlier in the season sees his team in trouble and runs onto the field and scores the match-winning mouse click.

hello :)
OP got me thinking I mean it really is just like chess at the fringe "pro" level of RTS style gaming so ... who am I to judge. i consider chess more of a sport right now than league of legends but maybe im wrong. but a lso maybe because chess has really hot pro level competitors

much like furries and trannies and soon to be bronies, goons will come to begrudgingly accept MLG stuff after running out of pretty lame jokes and one or two really sick burns

hello :)
well your example is only half true, nobody accepts furries its just run its course for making fun of. and i really kind of doubt bronies will ever be "accepted" because its loving weird and broken, but ... all that being said, you are probably right about "gaming athletes" being accepted eventually

One pro player, theoddone, played so much and so hard that he gave himself scurvy. Yes, the pirate disease. Never had time to eat a single vegetable or fruit for YEARS. Just cup o noodles and poo poo. If that doesn't qualify as a sport, I don't know what does.
