During the first Heroes of the Dorm (College Heroes of the Storm), which was televised on ESPN2, one of the announcers said, and this is a real quote, "THAT'S THE KIND OF DRAGON YOU'D SEE ON THE COVER OF SPORTS ILLUSTRATED" not making this up

I am a fan of both sports and esports. Esports are fine but they are not sports. I don't know why anyone gets butthurt when someone says that. Not every competition is a sport. Something doesn't have to be a sport to be good.

Varg posted:no lie I took a class in college called "Philosophy of Sport" with a book written by the professor teaching the class. We spent a lot of time arguing about what makes something a sport or a game and it seems there is really never a clear distinction between them. Most people believed that video games were not sports but it's actually a difficult argument to make in fact I mean that class was confusing because it was based on your dumbass teachers book that he wrote. If you just go by the actual definition of the word sport: sport spôrt/Submit noun 1. an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. Clearly playing video games are not sports, as they do not involve any physical exertion, its not unclear in any way

ArbitraryC posted:from the same definition you pulled that from the very next line is: The definition of Synonym: syn·o·nym ˈsinəˌnim/Submit noun a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language, for example shut is a synonym of close. Games are nearly the same as sports but not exactly the same

Marta Velasquez posted:Once people start pasting dictionary definitions as arguments, I believe the thread is required to be moved to D&D by forums law. Mods? My point in posting it was mostly to contest the guy who said his college professor wrote a book that was used to teach a class that made it seem not cut and dry, but when you look at what words actually mean, it is very cut and dry edit: but i guess when I am talking about contesting someone elses point, i just prove yours Sory mods

ArbitraryC posted:yeah hence why they call them esports instead of sports. There is an important distinction but they are comparable enough that one term is derived from the other. ya i agree, apparently some people think esports = sports though or something Like imagine a gameshow called esport or sport where they show videos of a person participating in a sport or playing a video game, and all you need to do to win is guess correctly whether it is a sport or a esport. I think everyone would win, even people who can't seem to understand the difference between the two
