Actual sports require physical activities like speed.sthrenght,stamina not some dumb computer skills and BTW lol pros are not athlets in ANY way. So please explain to me how is lol a sport. Please no stupid comments or haters that think they're smart.
Because if bowling is a sport, poker is a sport, golf is a sport, NASCAR is a sport, being a lumberjack is a sport (yes, that is a thing), etc, then this is easily a sport. They are extremely talented in their field. The game is heavily competitive.
Also, even though you said no stupid comments, I have to point out your grammar and spelling. It isn't good.
When OP thinks sports is an activity where people have to:
Lol is considered a sport(or technically, E-Sport) because:
But sure, go fake an injury to grab a free penalty kick. That'll make you look manly & improve your health.
Well I'm sorry that Douche McSteroidson won't have the spotlight on him for 5 seconds because some people decided to focus on the mental aspects of human aptitude for once instead of a bunch of muscle-heads chasing around an oval and being paid millions for it.
In every way. It does require skill, and They pros are athletes and are recognized by the US Government as such.
Pretty sure CHESS is a sport.
League has much more physical activity than chess.
It is an intellectual sport much like chess or poker. But League involves even more then that.
Not only do you have to think about ten things at once trust me you do. You also have to gain the reaction time of a professional Nascar racer. Things that happen suddenly in League and you have to react you them doing it the right way you can create out-plays doing it the wrong way you die normally.
If you think gaming can't be a sport then that is up to you. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that opinion doesn't make you right or wrong. However, you should keep an open mind and try to look at things from different views instead of just writing people off as wrong. This video discusses the topic of video games as a sport. If you watch it do as I said. Keep an open mind and try to view things from a different perspective.
I don't think it's considered to be an actual sport, and it isn't usually called a sport by its community. I believe its term is "e-sport"
You can look into the differences between "sports" and "e-sports" yourself.
You ask for no stupid of hateful answers, but your own phrasing makes your question seem stupid and hateful.
Esports are not traditional sports, and nobody is trying to say they are. It's just that nobody would take "professional videogaming" seriously at first.
LOL is a sport because the definition of sport is not as narrow as you like to believe.
Saying that because LoL is a game and therefore isn't a sport makes no sense, since all sports are games. Golf requires no real physical activity and neither does poker.
